Description

IC 1396 is a large and comparatively faint emission nebula and star forming region over 100 light years across, located about 2400 light-years away in the constellation Cepheus.
The nebula mixes glowing cosmic gas and dark dust cloud, and there is a scattering of hot stars, quite widely seperatedfrom each other, inside the nebula. 
Among the intriguing dark shapes within IC 1396, is the Elephant's Trunk nebula.
