Elephant trunk nebula - Oct 2022

Another attempt at capturing Elephant trunk nebula (IC1396) in Cepheus. This large cloud of gas and dust is a star forming region with many 'young' (~100,000 years old) stars. Use of Nikon Z6 camera with the full frame sensor instead of the cropped sensor ASI533MC-pro astro camera, makes it a wider angle image. For comparison, here is a photo of the same object taken with the ASI camera two months ago.
