Description

90 & 95 minute exposures on Fujifilm 200 color negative film. The Cocoons actual designation is Sh2-125, the more common IC 5146 refers to the weak embedded cluster. Barnard 168 stretches across the FOV and envelopes the Cocoon. Shot through a FS-102, G-11/Gemini mount and guided with a ST-4 on 9-5-07 at my backyard observatory.
