Description

IC1396 in the constellation of Cepheus is a region with dust and gas. The central dark feature rotated 90 degrees counter clockwise is supposed to resemble an elephant's trunk. This image was captured with 6 hours of data from Table Mountain near Ellensburg, WA and Goldendale WA in the United States. I decided to process this as a reduced star version, and to enhance the faint nebular details. Exposure details are below.

L: 21x10mins = 3.5 Hours binned 1x1

Ha: 6x10 mins= 1.0 hr binned 1x1

R: 6x5mins= 30 mins binned 2x2

G: 6x5mins= 30 mins binned 2x2

B: 6x5mins= 30 mins binned 2x2
