Description

This is a two panel HaOiii mosaic emphasizing the dark nebulosity near the Elephant Trunk Nebula (IC 1396), with several of the dark nebulae in Barnards Catalogue. IC1396 is also in the Sharpless catalogue as Sh2-131. It must be one of the largest Sharpless objects. Interestingly Sh2-128 is just next to it and must be one of the smallest Sharpless objects. There is a strong Ha emitting larger nebula just to the left of Sh2-128 that Sharpless apparently missed. Actually there are quite a few Ha objects in this image that are not in the major catalogues.
