Me too.....like I said in another post - looks like this week I will have plenty of time to play with old data.....and hopefully improve previous images.

Very nice, it is also nice to see this side of the Nebula rather than the more famous Trunk.  This side is full of dark nebulae with at least 2 "animals" that I can see.

Indeed Carole.....in fact when I actually got the data last year, I think it was the Elephant Trunk that I pushed as the main crop from the data........silly really as this area is also very interesting. I can see a frog (perhaps the most obvious) and what might be a Llama in the lower right ???   🤔

I agree with Carole, great to see the lesser imaged part of 396....really sowing some beautiful features

Indeed.....I actually reworked both halves of this nebula (as separate images) but only put this one up here as it is not viewed all that often. (If interested in higher resolution - both the images are up on my web site @  https://www.kinchastro.com/ic-1396-with-elephant-trunk-nebula.html)
