IC1396
IC1396 shows on starmaps as a large area of nebulosity in Cepheus, to the north and east of the North America nebula. On the western (right hand) edge can be found the Elephant's Trunk nebula.
Tech Stuff: First light for a combination of a nebula enhancing light pollution filter with a mono camera. Borg 71FL/Baader MPCC corrector/QHY163m/IDAS LPS-V4/Ioptron Cubepro 8200 guided. 20 minutes each of 8 second exposures for L, R, G and B, captured with SharpCap live stacks; processed with PixInsight. Several layers showed a frustrating amount of noise, likely a camera or camera settings issue. Unclear if there was any benefit here to the mono approach versus using the equivalent capture time with a color camera. Imaged from my yard 10 miles north of New York City.
