Description

After many cloudy nights, I finally got clear skies and the Cocoon Nebula was my next target.I did not want to touch the stars too much in this picture because I do think they definitively belong there. I like the natural subtle rosy colors of Cocoon covered by the surrounding nebulosity, so I did not want to do an overdose of magenta during the color balance process!. The seeing conditions were very good and the equipment did a good a job. So, all shortcomings are on me.
