IC1396 as a Stereo Image Pair

Cross Vision version Parallel Vision version



There is some 3D volume in stereo pair image.
It tels something about the "real" nature of those
objects, floating in the three dimensional Space.
This is an artistic visualization.

IC 1396 in H-alpha & OIII light


The home of the famous "Elephants Trunk" Nebula, IC1396is an active
starformation area in Cepheus.After the Veil Nebula I shot 6x1200s trough H-alpha filter and then 3x1200s trough OIII filter. My goal is shoot SII channel as soon as possible and makea narrowband three color image. The Green channel is synthesized from O-III and H-alpha.
Imaging data:
Camera, QHY8
Filters,
Baader 7nm H-alpha and Baader 8,5nm O-III
Optics,
Tokina AT-X 300mm @ f2.8
Exposures,
7X 1200s H-alpha 8 X 1200 O-III + flats and bias - Guiding, LX200 GPS 12" + PHD-guiding and Lodestar

IC1396 in narrowband colors






Last night I shot S-II (Sulfur) channel for this nebula.
I previously shot H-alpha (Hydrogen) and O-II (Oxygen), you can see the image,
if you scroll few posts down.
This is a narrowband color composition with mentioned three pands.
Sulfur=Red, Hydrogen=Green and Oxygen=Blue
