A bit of a wait for the next clear opportunity which arrived during a
hot spell of weather so a very balmy evening to do some imaging. Useable
subs are now available at an earlier time so matchsticks aren't quite
so neccessary as we move into the autumn months. With the camera still
on the apo I went for a wider image of one of my favourite objects - The
Cocoon Nebula (IC 5146) which sits nicely isolated in Cygnus. The associated dust lane (Barnard
168) gives it a unique appearance. Transparency varied throughout the
session but was generally quite good. Details: Megrez 88 apo. 15 x 10
minute exposures @
iso1600
with CLS in DSS, FIV, CS2 & XAT.
