This is the first of my images for this New Moon. I am working with the new ATIK One 6.0 camera, with Sony 694 chip. Learning how it performs and what the best exposure times and filters to use.
This image is at .93" image scale and just manages to capture the trunk.
Hope you like it. grin

Suddenly my own Elephant's Trunk photo seems very inadequate wink Amazing work, as usual, Flyod!
