Elephant's Trunk nebula reprocessed
Weather doesn't support any imaging, so I reprocessed an older image, the Elephant's Trunk nebula.

The elephant's Trunk nebula is a concentration of interstellar gas and dust in the star cluster IC 1396.
This ionized gas region locates in the constellation Cepheus about 2400 light years away.
Formation is coursed by a stellar wind, radiation pressure, from a group of massive young stars.
