Description

IC 5146 is an open cluster linked to a diffuse nebula visible in the constellation of Cygnus.
It is a small cluster surrounded by a very small (cocoon-shaped) nebula, connected in turn to a system of dark nebulae, known by the acronym B 168, which extends for about 2 degrees in the direction of M39. This set of nebulae would have a distance from the Sun of about 3300 light-years.
My first attempt with this nebula, I hope to improve and integrate more in the future.
