IC 1396 and vdB 142

Posted By Thomas V Davis

Nice image, Jim!

BTW, your info says that the Elephant Trunk is also called vdB 142. vdB142 is a small reflection nebula near the "tip" of the "trunk". Dr. Sydney van den Bergh only cataloged reflection nebulae near BD stars. The "trunk" is not a reflection nebula.
