Description

Centered in IC1396, this widefield image also captures the Cocoon Nebula in the upper right and the Flying Bat nebula bottom center.  I used the Sigma 105mm f/1.4 lens set to f/2.8 and shot 205 exposures of 60 seconds each.  Actually, I shot a bunch more, but clouds took out quite a few frames.  I also used a B+W UV/IR filter to get rid of the red halos inherent to the EOS Ra camera and it did a good job.
