Images for August 2013

Hi,
I had a good five nights over the new Moon week for imaging and managed to capture three more objects.

NGC 6946 and NGC 6939 The Fireworks Galaxy and an open cluster.

Then IC-5146 The Cocoon Nebula and the dark nebula that trails it.

The last couple of months have been productive and I really appreciate the good weather.

Hope you like the images.

Nice work, Floyd!
I've always like observing NGC 6946 in Cepheus. Some trivia notes: it was discovered by William Herschel in 1798 and nine supernovas have since been observed in it--how's that for fireworks!

Floyd beautiful work, I like NGC6939 the fireworks galaxy a lot... Its been a good month in SoCal for astronomy...

Floyd, your Cocoon and nearby VdB 147 is fantastic! Congrats!
