Description

Ever since I've seen what others were able to do with imaging the Cocoon from dark skies, I've wanted to give it a fresh attempt. I've shot it many times from my light polluted skies south of Houston and while I've been able to get some of the dark nebula to show up after 40+ hours, it never looked that great. This attempt was a full night of HA, and several nights of LRGB through spotty weather we're having in New Mexico right now as this high pressure zone is trapped over parts of Texas and NM.
