Description

The Elephant's Trunk Nebula is a concentration of interstellar gas and dust within the much larger ionized gas region IC 1396 located in the constellation Cepheus about 2,400 light years away from Earth.

The source data was taken at the end of October last year, the moonlight seriously interfered with the regular shooting, so I used a narrow band filter for more than twenty hours of exposure, in addition to ha channel signal-to-noise ratio is a little better, other channels  is very general.
