🐘✨ Behold #vdB142, famously known as the #Elephant’sTrunkNebula! Nestled within #Cepheus, it’s part of the larger #IC1396 #emissionnebula, which spans 100 light-years and lies 2,400 light-years away.

VdB142/the Elephant Trunk from last night. I processed this while drafting an appeal at my desk today so I can't remember which telescope it was from since I was imaging with two last night, a Quattro 250p and SCT11 with Hyperstar.
