The above image is a 3x4 mosaic (12 frames) I captured during my visit to Spain the summer of 2010, over 4 nights. It is in fact the very first astroimage I captured from Spain.
Beginning at the lower left, the large emission nebula is cataloged as IC 1396. Hundreds of light-years across and about 3,000 light-years distant, it contains a dark, winding, tendril-shaped feature popularly known as the Elephant's Trunk. Near the top middle, the bright nebula with an embedded star cluster is NGC 7380. At the upper right lies NGC 7635 (the Bubble Nebula) and star cluster M52.
Although the final result wasn't quite what I had envisioned, it's clear that this area is extremely rich and gorgeous - awaiting for a better representation!
