Image Description and Details :

The Constellation Cepheus is often in the shadow of the Hydrogen rich constellation of Cygnus but within its boundaries it really has a little bit of everything, such a varied bunch of targets. However, there is clearly a crowning jewel among the many rough diamonds. That is IC1396, the Elephant Trunk nebula. It’s a nebula that gives great color and contrast, with great areas of dust and the magnificent detail of the central trunk reaching in to the well of Oxygen that lies at its center. Around 5 hours of 600s subs stacked in DSS.
