IC1396
Object: IC1396
Emission Nebula
 Const.: Cepheus
Camera:
SBIG STL11000M
 Scope: Tele Vue NP127is Mount:
Losmandy Titan
Filter(s): L:R:G:B Exposure: 30x8m:15x8m:15x8m:15x8m
Color binned 2x2
This image shows IC1396, including the VDB142, the Elephant's Trunk Nebula, in Cepheus. This image was acquired using an SBIG STL11000M CCD camera mounted on a Tele Vue NP127is. This image is a color composite of a stack of 30 eight-minute exposures binned 1x1 taken through a Hydrogen-alpha filter for the luminance channel, combined with stacks of 15 eight-minute exposures binned 2x2 taken through red, green and blue filters for the color channels. The images were calibrated, defect-corrected, stacked and G2V-balanced using AIP4Win Version 2. This image has been resampled down from its original size of 4008x2672.

This image shows a detail section of VDB142, the Elephant's Trunk Nebula, in Cepheus, enhanced to bring out the detail. This image was acquired using an SBIG STL11000M CCD camera mounted on a Tele Vue NP127is. This image is a color composite of a stack of 15 eight-minute exposures binned 1x1 taken through a Hydrogen-alpha filter for the luminance channel, combined with stacks of 5 or 6 eight-minute exposures binned 2x2 taken through red, green and blue filters for the color channels. The images were calibrated, defect-corrected, stacked and G2V-balanced using AIP4Win Version 2. This image has been cropped from its original size of 4008x2672.
