the center of the image shows IC 1396, a star cluster surrounded by an emission nebula. IC 1396A, the famous "elephant's trunk" is included.
in the upper right, you can discover Sharpless 129 (red structures). Included is a huge planetary nebula (blue colored) named Outters 4.

Between IC 1396 and Sh 129 there is the emission nebula vdB 140 visible. On the very left, there is a small part of Sharpless 132 located.
