Description

Images were taken between August and November of 2018.

Unguided and stock DSLR.

I am wondering why is the IC 1396 orange around μ Cephei... First I thought it's caused by the optics, but I have seen it in other images as well, especially which were taken with stock DSLRs (I guess otherwise H-emission dominates that part of nebula). It really looks like a reflection of μ Cephei, which would mean they are quite close to each other, but I couldn't find any mention of that. Let me know if you have any info regarding this.

Description: Heavy crop of the Elephant's Trunk.
I know it's not best picture of this object, but I was curious what can I get from a 400mm lens, first released 25 years ago, made for daytime photography, without autoguiding, so I abused my data a little bit.
