Description

I reshot The Cocoon and added 4.5hrs of data to my previous photo which was already 4hrs 26mins. I really think the additional data really brought out the faint nebulous regions around the nebula and deepen the color of The Cocoon itself. Also I had a much clearer night so that helped a lot. This was shot during the super blue moon in August and a still 98% illuminated moon for the second night. So a very bright light in sky along with my wonderful light pollution at my site.
