Finally!! The clouds left.... Cocoon (HaR)RGB

Last night was clear so I got the color data for the Cocoon Nebula. It was amazing! No clouds, no wind, AND no moon!! What a treat.

Tom,
Congrats on taking advantage of the conjunction of favorable moon and absense of clouds!

I like the color version of your Cocoon. Is it my imagination, or have you captured some of the "dusty" tint in the dark nebulas?

Good job on the color.

Beautiful composition.

You deserve a standing ovation for that one, Tom.
All aspects are well done.
