More #ElephantsTrunk reprocesses this time with a different framing. #IC1396 #Astrophotography

🔭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

My latest image! #IC1396 the #ElephantsTrunk nebula in the constellation of #Cepheus #Astrophotography

ollowing the recent clear nights I managed to grab 14hours on #IC1396 the #ElephantsTrunk nebula.

Idk why this nebula is called "Elephant's Trunk Nebula", I neither see an 🐘 elephant nor a trunk. Can somebody explain this to me?

🐘 The Elephant's Trunk in Cepheus: twenty light-years of cold hydrogen, lit and slowly eaten by one hot O-star — and still cradling newborn stars behind its bright rim. Shot in Hα from my rooftop in Germany. The light left before Homer was ever written down. #ElephantsTrunk #astrophotography

Following yesterday’s #SHO #Hubble palette version of #IC1396 the #ElephantsTrunk nebula I have reworked it to a #HOO version. I used the NBtoRGB combination script in PI then the Narrowband Normalisation script to get the HOO look from Ha Oiii & Sii data #Astrophotography

This is a wide shot I took of the Elephant’s Trunk Nebula. The closeup crops highlight areas that make this region so fascinating.

The Elephant’s Trunk nebula (IC 1396) processed using two different methods. Which do you prefer?

Most of the #deepsky stuff are reprocessed old data. #SoulNebula #RosetteNebula & #ElephantsTrunk are the only new images this year

This is a picture of stacked images while doing #astophotography on perseid meteor shower. I think it was in 2021. Using nova.astrometry.net the astrometric calculations show the visible #constellations in the image. You can also see: #NGC682, #NGC7008, #M39, #IC5146 ( #ElephantsTrunk) and #IC1369.
