This picture of the emission nebula IC 1396 in Cepheus was taken on September 13, 2012 at Sky Trails Observatory in Summerland. Embedded in the background is the 'Elephant Trunk' dark nebula to the centre right.
A modified Canon XSi camera operating at ISO 1600 captured ten 15 minute exposures through a Borg ED 101 Astrograph using an IDAS filter, which were later processed with flat and dark frames in ImagesPlus.
