Description

This an object I have struggled for years to obtain a good photo of it was always way to dim to be pleasing. The reason for that is I was never at a really dark site when attempting to image it with my DSLR (and no LP filter). Well now I got some very dark skies so I have finally attained an image of the Cocoon I am happy with. The wind on the two nights I was imaging it though almost doomed me in but we survived. :-)
