Description

I imaged the Cocoon Nebula IC5146 using my William Optics FLT91 with the F68III 1.0x flattener, ZWO ASI2600MC Pro with the Optolong L-Pro (broadband) and Optolong L-Ultimate narrowband 3nm (Ha, OIII).  I have several versions of this uncropped/cropped with more or less stars.

The Cocoon Nebula is an emission nebula and star cluster about 4,000 light years away in the constellation Cygnus.  The nebula holds a bright red emission nebula, blue reflection nebulae and dark absorption nebulae.  The massive central star formed about 100,000 years ago.
