Elephant Trunk Nebula
Elephant Trunk nebula IC 1396 is a huge emission nebula located in constellation of Cepheus. The nebula is 2,500 light years distance from us. The famous feature of this nebula is the Elephant Trunk IC 1396A that positioned in lower part of the image, which is a star nursery surrounded by dark interstellar dust. This Elephant Trunk is about 20 light years long. On the right, you can see Herschel’s Garnet star, the Red supergiant star. Gear setup: WO Redcat51 f/4.9, iOptron Sky Guider pro unguided, Radian Triad Narrowband filter, ZWO 2400MC cooled @ -10, ASIair. Lights subs 30x600 sec, 10 Darks, 50 Bias, 20 Flats, 20 Dark Flats. This beautiful target is imaged over two nights with total integration of 5 hours from Sky Bortle scale 3. Stacked in PixInsight and Processed by PS and Topaz Denoise AI. Cropped.
