Description

I was having trouble deciding on a target tonight. I like the sky in and around Cygnus and decided to choose 
a target in Cygnus while it is still up. I Chose IC 5068 and I decided to use my Orion 8 Inch Newtonian Astrograph
because I've never imaged this object with that scope.  I've imaged this object a lot recently and don't know why I'm so 
so fixated on it. I think one reason is that if this object is imaged correctly it resembles a Salvadore Dali 
surrealistic painting. It doesn't look like nebulosity normally looks.  Obviously I didn't achieve what I was 
looking for.  However the good thing is each time I image I gain experience in imaging and processing and hopefully  
learn what works and what doesn't work and can apply this the next time I image and get a better result. And with all
of that said please enjoy my most recent image of IC 5068.
