Description

IC 1396A ... aka the Elephant Trunk Nebula!

In front of the central globule there also is visible the faint reflection nebulae van den Bergh 142 (vdB 142). Please notice, that the faint blue "nebulae" surrounding all the other bright stars are not "real" ... they aren't of cosmic origin but of earthly origin: the always wet and cloudy sky in my town!!! ))

Description: De gustibus non est disputandum ... the Romans said. But it could be interesting to know ... which is the better solution to show the elephant trunk? :)
