Description

One of the first objects I shot with my SBIG was this Cocoon Nebula during a very good night on September 27/28. I still can remember very clear when the first frame appeared on my screen and I was blown away how detailed an sharp it was. I spend the whole previous saturday with getting the collimation right and setting up for the evening. This effort payed off with this great result, still one of my best pictures up to now.
