Target : IC 1396 - Elephant Trunk

Nebula Location:Kuwait - Alhejen Farms - Camel Hangars

Saying farewell to the elephant Trunk! as we get ever closer to the winter season new targets are just around the corner. I have been wanting to image the trunk since getting my mono camera. unfortunately imaging during a nearly full moon had me struggle with the oxygen filter and Sulphur filter, but the hydrogen alpha had no problems at all. However I disagree with the naming, I don't see the elephant! I actually see a dementor from Harry Potter! Let me know what you see! The image shown was taken using SHO filters and I removed thebmegenta stars which are a result of narrowband fitlers and added in Natural color stars using my RGB filters.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
