Description

Hello,
I would like to present the Elephant's Trumpet nebula vdB146 which is located in the complex IC1396 consisting of nebulae and an open cluster. It owes its shape to strong stellar winds that have formed the characteristic shape of an elephant's trunk. Stars may form from the giant cloud of matter in the future. The object is 3000 light years away from us. I colected In clear skies In end of september and whole november.
The image consists of 135 x 300s in the Ha channel and 118 x 300s in the O3 channel, the colour palette is HOO.
