IC5146 - Cocoon Nebula
The cocoon nebula is an interesting target as it is made up of all 3 major types of nebula: emission, reflection and absorption, it also sits in a nice patch of dusty space if you have the skies to image it.
This is the start of what should be a bit of a marathon on this target, as I'm planning an extended run in both Hydrogen Alpha and RGB to try and capture as much of the three different properties present here as possible. Looks like a promising start.
