Description

The Elephant Trunk nebula is part of The nebula IC1396 in the constellation Cepheus
The IC 1396 is a region of ionized gas, containing the more famous Elephant Trunk nebula and lies in a distance of 2400 lightyears away from earth.

Finished with the Cygnus area for a while, I moved both my scopes to the constellation Cepheus, the mythological king of Ethiopia, and I managed to collect a few photons between rain, fog and clouds on this target over three nights.
By the help of ASTAP I did some adjustment on the camera tilt during these nights and it is slowly getting better, 28% down to 8% on the last frame.
