Hi all. It has been a long time since I was able to do any imaging, but I got out briefly the last two nights. Here is the Cocoon taken with the Tak Epsilon 160. Luminance data was Ha (8x20min), combined with 6x5min RGB. I would like to go deeper, but I can't be up all night right now. Let me know what you think of the image.
Cheers,
Tyler

Welcome back, Tyler. That's a great start on the Cocoon.
The E160 sure helps make the most of one's imaging time.

Tyler,
Cool image. I think I see some of the dark stuff around this object in your image.
