IC1396 from the ranch on the 3rd and 4th

I went to the ranch for the 4th holiday and did image on the 3rd and 4th nights

I was using a new camera on my Pentax 400mm lens. I had to do some adaptor building to let the two work together and this is the first color image from the combination. I have some lingering mechanical issues that should be straightforward to sort out but in the meantime I did get this rather colorful image that is sort of fun:

this is a total of 6 hours 20 minutes exposure at f/4.
