Description

Finally, the smoke cleared and it was a spectacularly clear night! After the moon set, I only had a little time to grab an image so I went for this area of the Milky Way. IC 1396 covers a huge area of the Milky Way full of colorful and interesting objects, including dark nebula and the Elephant Trunk Nebula, which is about 2,400 LY away. C&C always welcome!
