Description

IC5146 or The Cocoon Nebula resides in the constellation Cygnus, the Swan. This was imaged over 2 nights, July 30th and 31st with the ED80T, ATIK314L+ on the Atlas EQ-G.

Combination of Luminance, HA and RGB. There is a dark nebula going from the Cocoon to the upper left which explains the lack of stars in that area in an otherwise "Star Studded" background!
