Description

Got in almost 4hrs of exposures from my Bortle 7-8 yard with this DSO. This effort represents the first light use of my new Optolong L-Ultimate Dual Band Filter with my FLT132mm refractor.  Tried a modified workflow with this object. Used Astro Pixel Plus to split the Ha an OIII channels so that I could use the individual data to create a HOO color pallet. Unfortunately, the Cocoon is predominantly Ha emission with very little OIII.  Optolong has done a good job minimizing star halos with this new filter.
