Description

IC 1396, a.k.a. the Elephant's Trunk Nebula, is no stranger to the community of astrophotographers. At a reduced field-of-view that cannot fit the entire target in, I decided to frame and focus on the dark nebulae south of IC 1396 in this project. Multiple Barnard dark objects covered in this capturing, with B160 (upper center), B162 & B163 (right) and B365 (left) featured. Dark dusts float above IC 1396's usual highlighted redness to present a vivid, dynamic look.
