The Elephant's Trunk
Nebula in Cepheus is a
dark nebula, and is visible
due to the glow from the
much larger emission
nebula behind it -- IC1396.
This image only shows a
small portion of IC1396.
The "vdb" designation
refers to the van den Berg
catalogue of reflection
nebula -- there is a small
patch of reflection
nebulosity visible in this
image, near the elephant's
"eye" -- click to enlarge the
image and see if you can
find it.
