Fig. 1.— (a) A ∼ 3◦ × 3◦ composite (red + blue) image of the emission nebula IC 1396 from the Digital Sky Survey (DSS). The blue box outlines the 17′ × 17′ Chandra field centered on the bright-rimmed globule IC-1396N. (b) A close-up 17′ × 17′ DSS grey-scale view of the globule. The green contour demarcates the dark molecular head of the globule, tracing the ionization front from HD 206267. (c) An adaptively smoothed Chandra ACIS-I image in the full 0.5 − 8.0 keV band with the green contour superposed. Smoothing has been performed at the 2.5σ level, and gray scales are logarithmic. Over 100 X-ray point sources are seen on the image. Getman et al. 2006
