WIth all the excellent images of the Cocoon Nebula lately (Jim and James) I decided to revisit my data from last year. The weather has been cloudy so it gives me practice on data manipulation. Anyway, here is my version of the Cocoon after a re-processing run with some different techniques.

Astounding image Thomas! 8)

I just LOVE the wide field that your camera & scope combination produce... it is as sweet as it gets...

Beautiful colors & detail achieved..., and I love the effect of the dark dust lanes in the star rich field...


Thanks for sharing, and keep it up!

Tom,
I think I remember this image from before. I really like the framing with the dark nebula going from Cocoon to the opposite corner.

I like it.

What are the different techniques?
