Description

Located 3300 light years from earth, the Cocoon Nebula is a beautiful summertime target located to the north near the constellation Cygnus. Had a few clear nights this weekend to keep the photon train chugging, so I decided to give it a shot. There was a lot of moon and smoke from all the brush fires out there, but I made the best of it. Taken 8.11 - 8.13 in the Silver Creek area of San Jose, CA
