Description

IC 1396 (d~2,400ly)

Two premieres at once. My first image of IC 1396 and the first synthetic HOO image at the same time. I have to say I'm a little proud of this one. Took quite a while until I got a well-functioning workflow. IC 1396 is an extended concentration of ionized gas that contains the well-known Elephant's Trunk Nebula.
