Description

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 (from Wikipedia). 
This image comprises 64 lights at 180sec each. I used an STC Astro Duo Narrowband filter (Ha/Oiii). Shot on an AstroTech AT115EDT f/7 with a ZWO ASI294MC-Pro camera.
