Also known has the Cocoon Nebula. Lying close to the constellation Cygnus the cocoon nebula is about 15 light years across and roughly 3,300 light years from us.
Inside this nebulous cloud is a group of young stars blasting out so much radiation that they create this wonderful floral looking emission nebula.
Boring techie bit:
Skywatcher Quattro 8" Newtonian Reflector steel tube with the f4 aplanatic coma corrector, Skywatcher EQ6 R pro mount, Altair Starwave 50mm guide scope, ZWO asi120mm guide camera mini, ZWO asi533mc pro cooled to -10c gain 101, Optolong L'enhance 2" filter, ZWO filter drawer, ZWO asiair plus.
180s exposures.
Best 90% of 44 light frames.
