#SkyWatch#Astrophotography The Elephant's Trunk Nebula is a dark, dense globule of interstellar gas about 2400 light years away in the Cepheus constellation. The bright sinuous rim of the trunk is the surface of the gas cloud being illuminated by the bright star on the right edge of the image. I captured the 100 three-minute (5 hours total) exposures that make up this image overnight 2 nights ago.
