Description

Here is another collection of dark nebulae that reside in the Elephant Trunk environs. To orient you, with the "trunk" facing downwards, this area is in the lower right quadrant. Decided to collect this data after most of the night living in OIII/SII-land; it's needed but not very satisfying to watch frame after frame of OIII or SII data come in. With Ha you actually can see what you are getting pretty much right away so provides a nice break.

I like the little swooshy, fireball looking object. slightly lower-center. Not sure if that's LM 381, also labeled LDN 1104, LDN 1103, and B 163. Any assistance identifying would be appreciated.
