Here is a shot of the Cocoon nebula I took at Astrofest this past September. Anybody that attended Astrofest this year knows we had 3 beautiful nights and this one was taken the last night there, which was probably the least transparent night of the weekend. Skies there are not the best for imaging but I gave it a go.

2 frames @ 40 minutes each with a Pentax K1000 on Kodak PJ400. 80mm F5 piggybacked on a C8 and G11 mount.

Comments appreciated,
Robert W.
