Description

Now this image I've been looking at on my computer for the past few days just wondering what I can do to make it "better". I've looked at a LOT of the C19 images on Astrobin, and it seems it's difficult to bring out the darker bands in this nebula, and the second most challenging object in this image is the blue reflection nebula near one of the bright stars close to the Cocoon.

All in all, I think I did an OK job CAPTURING the data - I probably could use a few more hours of subs, but really I think I'll wait for a better scope or a flatter field (IE: My spacer tubes to come in for the Baader+CCD) before trying this one again. I've put the scope up for now (rain in the area this week), but look forward to the New Moon when I can get her out again. Maybe I'll have my new scope by then!
