10pm – 12am
So few nights available for imaging in the high summer months. Must take any opportunity –even if conditions are less than optimal.
IC 5146
Often referred to as the “Cocoon Nebula,” IC 5146 is an emission nebula surrounding an open star cluster in the constellation Cygnus. It is located about 4,000 light years away. It is thought to be a stellar nursery with stars forming inside it.
This image is comprised of 50, 30-second sub-exposures.
