      IC 1396 is a very sparse open cluster associated with a large diffuse nebula, visible in the northern constellation of Cepheus. It is located in a stretch of the Milky Way partially obscured by dense patches of dark nebulae, in a galactic region rich in dust and neutral gas, associated with young, hot, blue stars.
