This picture is my first Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) which was selected by the Apod GrAG team for 23 of December 2019.

The elephant trunk nebula seems to me more like a shooting donut but is nevertheless a wonderful nebula and a fun one to shoot.

My special thanks to @insta_grag for selecting my image for this award.
