IC 5146, the Cocoon Nebula

I started another mosaic project and fell short due to weather. I decided to give "panel#19" a go at processing with Pixinsight. Completely pre-processed with PI, however I'm still learning and experimenting with various techniques of post-processing, So we will call this a practice image :)
