Description

Elephant trunk region of IC 1396

IC 1396 is a massive area of interstellar dust and gas in the constellation of Cepheus.

Six panel mosaic composed of 30 minute Ha exposures along with 5 minute R/G/B exposures. Imaged using ED80 CFT refractor telescope and an Atik 314L+ mono ccd camera. Image acquisition using SGP and processed using PixInsight. Bit over processed for my tastes, but love the detail it brings out.
