Description

IC 1396 - The Elephant's Trunk Nebula

Decided to capture get some subs in on this while I was waiting for my primary target to rise. Bit late in the season for it, but it worked out OK. I love how the framing turned out -- lots of cool dark nebulas.

I decided to just process the red channel of this to mimic a black and white Ha only image. The contrast on the nebulas just ended up a lot stronger vs. the full color image.
