Elephant Trunk Nebula (IC1396)


This image was taken on July 2nd & 3rd in Abbotsford.  A somewhat rare occurrence here: four clear dark nights in a row. The image consists of 18 15-minute subs registered and combined in CCDStack and finished in Photoshop CS5.

The Elephant Trunk (upper right) is a concentration of interstellar gas and dust in Cepheus about 3,000 light years away.
