Description

The Elephant Trunk region IC 1396. The large pixels of the 16803 coupled with the f/3 Veloce... the poor nebula never had a chance ;-)

My field was actually a bit larger than this, but I like it better cropped down, as the eye is drawn to the areas of more interesting details, and the details are of course more prominent.
