Description

IC 5146 - Cocoon Nebula in Constellation Cygnus the Swan
Located in star rich Milky Way about 4000 LY away. Bright emission head about 15 LY wide with extended 100 LY dusty tail.

Taken over 8 nights battling moonlight , dew on the sensor,  a bit of Quebec smoke, and high clouds. Have to love this hobby.
