Description

I've shot the Cocoon Nebula a couple times at shorter focal lengths. I love this nebula, it's small, colorful and complex. My previous images never captured any real detail because of how small it appeared. I really wanted to tease out more of the detail and dust around the core.

I hope you enjoy it!

This is also the first target I imaged with the Antlia RGB Tri-Band filter. Overall, I'm really impressed with this filter and will definitely continue to use it.
