Changed your mind? Send it back within 30 days for a full refund; you cover the return postage. If it arrives damaged or isn't right, I'll replace it or refund you, free. And it's guaranteed for life against fading.
I've spent more hours than I care to admit imaging this target. IC 1396A sits in Cepheus, about 2,400 light-years from Earth, and it demands patience. Clear skies, good seeing, long exposures stacked over multiple nights. But when the data finally comes together, it's worth every cold, tedious minute of it.
The dark structures here are molecular clouds, dense columns of gas and dust being sculpted by radiation from nearby young stars. This is where new stars are actively forming. How do you get your head around the fact that each of those pillars dwarfs our solar system many times over?
Thousands of background stars punctuate the ionised hydrogen field, and in narrowband the whole region takes on this extraordinary colour and detail. It's one of my favourite targets, and one I keep coming back to!
