IC1396 and several LDNs imaged in July and August 2023 from TDS using the AP130GTX with the QTCC.  This nebula is in the constellation Cepheus and is about 2400ly distant.  Many dark nebulas (LDNs) are within the brighter regions.  Several young stars (~100,000 years old) are in the elephant's trunk which is a star forming region.
