IC1396 - Elephant's Trunk Nebula - Synthetic SHO
The Elephant's Trunk Nebula or IC 1396 as it is otherwise known, but never with such a wide field of view, at a distance of around 2400 light years from earth and is mainly illuminated by a single bright star. It is thought that this region of space is home to a pretty young star forming region.
This image consists of the same data as the RGB Image but has been processed using my tutorial on creating SHO images from One Shot Colour Cameras which you can read here:
