The Chris de Burgh Nebula??

I know it's formally IC1396A and is supposed to look like an elephant trunk (hence the name) but I propose a petition to have it officially renamed the Chris de Burgh Nebula.  

And you, what do you see?

(Never mind the quality of the astro pic - it's a WIP, quick and dirty stretch)

I have to agree.  We need to address the naming of some nebula.

I think that the Thor's Helmet nebula looks more like a rabbit eating.

Head on the right with its ears pointing up and to the right.  It's even got a bright eye (burning like fire...)
