Description

Quick image processing of less than 2h of image integration of IC 1396 (Skywatcher Esprit100ED, ZWO ASI2600MC Pro Camera and CEM60EC mount), 420 seconds exposures. I still have a good 8h-12h of image capture to do on this project but it's always fun to take a look at what a single session can bring to life 🙂 The universe is so beautiful & awesome!

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. Crazy Cool!! 🙂
