Ha Work Series #2 - SH2-124 & IC5146 - The Cosmic Wasp

Popular object like the Cocoon rarely benefit from being presented in a larger FoV, but this time it is !
Paired with Sh2-124 it reveals a large area of faint Ha that, I admit, have been streched hard to reveal it's full presence. You can see how faint it is through DSS in rev B
Not sure you can find other reference of this area in Ha.

And putting this pair in a widefiled reveals a new cosmic animal to the mengarie namely the cosmic wasp where Sh2-124 is the eye and the curb ha area north of if his the antennaes while the Ha surrounding the cocoon are the legs. Wings and body are visible in the right and bottom right part of the image! Of course the Cocoon is a small bolt of honey ;)

I'm super happy with this series of Ha works with my widefiled set-up and I hope it will give some image reference for other imagers seeking cool regions to image.

Of note I was able to stepdown my canon lens down to f3.5 and keep acceptable stars. This fast ratio is ideal for my urban sky (read Paris, Capital City of France)

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
