  3. What you see is an organ formed by the merging of elongated nose and upper lip. The trunk has approx 40,000 muscles. Infants struggle with this boneless organ but they become very adept with this as they grow older. And the tip is the most frequently contacted with their environment, browsing grass as seen here. #elephant #mammals #elephanttrunk #elephanttusk #nature #wildlife #westernghats #mammals

  7. Trotz enormer Probleme mit meiner Technik bin ich mit dem Ergebnis ganz zufrieden. Etwa 2 1/2 Stunden Belichtungszeit über 2 Nächte. Einmal von einer Bortel 3-4 Gegend und eine Nacht vom heimischen Garten aus.

    IC 1396 und der Elefantenrüsselnebel (IC 1396A).
    Aufgenommen mit einem Skywatcher 130PDS und einer astromodifizierten Canon EOS 1000D.

    The Elephant's Trunk Nebula, located in the constellation Cepheus, is a dense region of gas and dust within the larger emission nebula IC 1396. Resembling a trunk-like shape, it spans about 20 light-years and is a stellar nursery where new stars are born, with bright young stars illuminating its intricate structures.

  18. #SkyWatch #Astrophotography #IC1396 is a large cloud of ionized gas about 2400 light years from Earth in the #Cepheus constellation. It contains the #ElephantTrunk nebula, a long dense pocket of dust and gas just to the left of the bright blue star at its center. Our nights have been so cloudy that I got up at 3:30 this morning to capture two hours of exposures while the sky was finally clear. IC1396 could use a lot more exposure time to really bring out the colors. #StillLearning
