Description

This is an old image from 2008 of the cocoon nebula that I'm planning to use the RGB with  luminance and Ha data from my back yard. I've always liked it and thought why not post it on my wall. This was shot under Bortle 4 skies at the Cincinnati Observatory dark sky site using the Tak E160 and SBIG STL11000. 12 by 300 s each of LRGB. Might be 60 mins of Ha in there as well but I can't remember!
