Hi guys,
I have been quite busy and hadn't been able to image anything until this week! I went for the elephant trunk nebula. Same setup as before. This one took 15 frames at 15 minutes each in Ha. I'll try to get some frames in O-III and S-II for a false color composite tonight. Here's what I got so far:

I love it. The elephant trunk nebula looks like a dragons head to me there.

Thank you "Burningmic". It does look like a dragon's head. I realized, if rotated 180 degrees, it looks more like an elephant's trunk, in fact with a bit of imagination you can even see the eye and ear of the elephant Wink
Anyway, here is a colored version of the nebula:

Thank you Leonard!

Looking at the image again I kind of found a hidden buffalo calf ridden by a boy! What do you think?
I highlighted the portion of the picture:
