Description

This region of the sky was the most difficult for me to photograph, as I constantly encountered a quick breakdown in the weather. I wanted to show the object in such a way that the tail of the dark nebulae would stand out against the sky. I think I made my first attempts in 2020, with a 71mm APO refractor and a ZWO ASI071 camera. At that time, I mistakenly set up the session and, unfortunately, the images were unusable.
In 2023 I returned to the cocoon nebula to show it exactly as I had planned, enriching the background with Ha signal.
