Description

The Elephant's Trunk Nebula is located in the constellation Cepheus and is a concentration of ionised gas and dust. The nebula has the catalogue designation IC1396 and IC1396A for the trunk itself and can be seen from the northern hemisphere in late summer and autumn. The nebula is about 2'400 light years away from our solar system. There are also many dark nebulae in this large emission nebula. For example Barnard 161 and LDN 1102.
I reprocessed this data about one year later.Most of my images and documents are in the public domain and can be used freely. Within the public domain, you also do not have to name me if you publish one of my images or documents, although you can do so if you wish. So if you want to use my images and documents, please do so.
