Description

IC-1396
Elephant Trunk nebula 

I was wondering what to shoot when the moon was up, and I decided to try this one.
It is facing away from the moon and higher up on the sky these days.
I love the unfiltered look of this nebula, has a lot of reflection region compared to the narrowband representations.
Looks more like a sheep head to me than an elephant trunk.

5 nights, 20 hours exposure time from 300sec subs.

239 x 300sec
