IC 1396A The Elephant Trunk nebula, located in the constellation of Cepheus, about 2,400 light years away.
This has been an elusive target for me, which I've attempted to image many times over the last few years, only to be disappointed because it is quite dim and either needs a LOT of integration (exposure) time, or imaging from a darker site than my backyard, to get a higher signal to noise ratio. This is the result of 8.3h from a Bortle 4 site.
