The Elephant Trunk Nebula (IC1396)
The Elephant Trunk Nebula (IC 1396) in the constellation Cepheus, "Hundreds of light-years across and about 3,000 light years from Earth, stars are forming in this area. The Elephant Trunk nebula contains several very young stars (less than 100,000 years old) that were discovered in 2003. The combined action of the massive star ionizing the rim of the cloud, and the wind from the young stars at its center blowing outward, generates very high compression in the Elephant Trunk. This is thought to have triggered the formation of protostars" - from SkySafari.
This is a calibrated stack of 40 3 minute exposures.
