Description

I managed 52 subs of this at 6 minutes long each, thus totalling an integration time of 5 hours and 12 minutes. I really like the cocoon nebula and I always choose it because it is a pretty bright object and easier than many from this location. I was hoping to image something else, but decided to go for one of my favourites instead. I took it using my Canon 700Da and 3" refractor. Thanks everyone...
