Description

IC 1396, The Elephant's Trunk Nebula with nearby Garnet Star mu-Cephei.

This target is usually captured with Ha, but here I attempted using a stock Canon with light pollution filter... It just happened to break through the trees when I was setting up.

Unrelated, but in the AM twilight setting up my dark frames for this I was able to catch Jupiter Mars and Saturn.  Venus and Mercury were up but behind trees. Tried getting Neptune with some binos, but wasn't able to find it before it became too bright.
