IC 1396 Elephant Trunk Nebula - telescope processed image with onboard LP Filter and Moon and Sky Light Filter. The Elephant Trunk Nebula (IC 1396A) is a star-forming pillar of gas and dust within the larger IC 1396 emission nebula in Cepheus, about 2,400 light-years away. Its shape is sculpted by radiation from a nearby hot, massive star.
Good Friday afternoon. Just downloaded the images from last night and didn’t look at them till now. Still working on my project - I image left. Here is a mosaic of #IC1396 #TheElephantTrunkNebula that I took last night. Used the s50 and joined / edited the […]

🔭The Elephant's trunk nebula again, sorry. But it's the only emission nebula I can shoot from my backyard this time of year. I combined a grayscale representation of the Halpha spectrum with RGB stars. #backyardastronomy #berlin #astronomy #astrophotography #elephantstrunk #IC1396
Idk why this nebula is called "Elephant's Trunk Nebula", I neither see an 🐘 elephant nor a trunk. Can somebody explain this to me?

A stunning image of Barnard 163, a dark nebula within the larger emission nebula IC 1396 in the constellation Cepheus. This dark cloud of gas and dust, resembling a cosmic duck, is so dense that it blocks visible light, while the surrounding IC 1396 glows red. Barnard 163 is a stellar nursery, where the cold conditions allow for the formation of new stars. The image also highlights the beauty of the star-filled night sky and the fact that today is an equinox—a perfect celestial alignment.
