Description

https://www.cloudynights.com/topic/782590-goofis-imaging-challenge-august-2021-ic-5146-cocoon-nebula

My final results  for August and first time imaging the Cocoon. 

Ha integration was deferred for the final image. 

LRGB, and a first serious imaging test with the EdgeHD 8" I got used in 2018 and don't use enough. When my regular ATRC8's focuser died the other week though, the Edge is proving to be a worthy back-up once I collimated. 

60s, 139 unity gain, 4.5hrs total integration

L2 86x

R 67x
G 62x
B 54x

HA 127 (deferred)
