IC 1396 - Elephant Trunk Nebula

I was recently fortunate enough to acquire a Hyperstar for my C9.25. After what feels like several months of uncooperative weather (it's really only been a month... but it was another month prior to that!), I was finally able to get the scope out under the stars. the forecase initially called for some clouds overnight, so I initially set out to do the less fun initial setup items; like getting everything initially in focus, collimated, and overall checking to make sure it all works, but as I worked through those bits, the forecast shifted to being mostly clear, and I decided to let the scope run for the night! I must say, after imaging at f/6.3 for awhile, imaging at f/2 at 540mm was absolutely delightful! I was able to capture so much more subtle detail with the same exposure length. Furthermore, I culled fewer frames due to poor guiding from wind gusts, though I still eliminated about an hour's worth of subframes due to some Saturn shaped stars. That being the case, my next task is the same as it has been the last couple times out: focus on creating a pop-up windbreak that I can set out with the scope, since it seems like a pier and/or observatory isn't a viable solution at this time.
