Description

This is a widefield image of the emission nebula IC 1396 in Cepheus, home to the famous Elefant's Trunk nebula.

The data for this 2x2 mosaic was taken over four consecutive night from August 5 to August 8. Additionally I blended in some older Ha-data of the Elefant's Trunk I had taken earlier this year. I plan on taking some RGB images during the next new moon to make a full color image.
