Description

The Elephant Trunk Nebula - IC 1396A is a dense region of dust and gas, in the constellation Cepheus. It is a star forming emission nebula. The trunk of the nebula stretches for over 20 light years!Captured over 6 days at the end of October. This is my first monochrome image and I’m blown away by the result. I still have a lot to learn.
