Cocoon Nebula - IC 5146 Located in Cygnus, the IC 5146 is a reflection and emission nebula. I finally decided to put everything together on the Celestron EdgeHD 8 for deep space and do some testing to make sure my guiding worked and that I could reach focus. Guiding was the easy part, focus was the pain. I finally got it and on the first night I captured m27 amd NGC 869, those I will post soon. On night two, I decided to shoot the Cocoon on both my Edge as well as my Meade 80mm Triplet. This here is from the Edge, and though I had some focus drift in the middle of my imaging (can't seem to get the auto focus to do its thing when using my Canon), I am happy with the result, especially considering I did not use any filters. .

Cocoon Nebula …

The Cocoon Nebula is a nearby star-forming region of our galaxy. The beautiful poppy-colour suggests strong hydrogen emissions, as you expect for a stellar nursery. On a galactic scale, it is close by: 3,000 light years. Another example of a beautiful interstellar object nearby in our galactic neighborhood. I photographed the Cocoon Nebula from my garden in Strasbourg France on two nights in July 2022, 80 x 180 seconds each.

Cocoon Nebula by Andy@astrophotography C5146/B168 (The Cocoon Nebula) A reflection and emission nebula involved and surrounded by dark nebulae Barnard 168 in the constellation of Cygnus (The Swan), IC5146 is also designated as an open cluster known as Collinder 470. Other designations for this object are Caldwell 19 and Sharpless 2-125. It is 4000 light years distant from Earth at a magnitude of 12. Only 10 minutes of data.

2016 IC5146 Aut+Aut with Scopos APO TL805 + WO 0.8X + 550D da Rocco Parisi Tramite Flickr: IC5146 (Caldwell 19, Sh 2-125, nebulosa Bozzolo) è un ammasso aperto associato ad una nebulosa diffusa molto piccola a forma di Bozzolo nella costellazione del Cigno che dista circa 3300 a.l. A sua volta è connessa ad un sistema di nebulose oscure catalogato con la sigla B168 e reso visibile perchè oscura un fitto campo stellare. Non pensavo che questo oggetto DS fosse così ostico. Malgrado un'integrazione di 3h 35min la profondità raggiunta non mi ha molto soddisfatto. Io penso che le condizioni ambientali abbiano influito negativamente, ma ho comunque voluto condividere il risultato raggiunto con il mio setup. IC5146 (Caldwell 19, Sh 2-125, Cocoon Nebula) is an open cluster associated with a very small diffuse nebula shaped like a cocoon in the constellation Cygnus, which is about 3300 ly. This in turn is connected to an obscure system of nebulae cataloged by the initials B168 and made visible because obscures a dense star field. I did not think that this DS object was so difficult. Despite integration of 3h 35min depth reached has not me very satisfied. I think that the ambient conditions have a negative impact, but I still wanted to share the achievement with my setup. _______________ Ottica: Rifrattore APO Scopos TL805 80mm/f7 + WO 0.8X Camera: Canon EOS 550D (Rebel T2i) mod.

IC 5146: The Cocoon Nebula by Oleg Bryzgalov on Flickr.

Via Flickr: Explanation: Inside the Cocoon Nebula is a newly developing cluster of stars. Cataloged as IC 5146, the beautiful nebula is nearly 15 light-years wide, located some 4,000 light years away toward the northern constellation Cygnus. Like other star forming regions, it stands out in red, glowing, hydrogen gas excited by young, hot stars and blue, dust-reflected starlight at the edge of an otherwise invisible molecular cloud. In fact, the bright star near the center of this nebula is likely only a few hundred thousand years old, powering the nebular glow as it clears out a cavity in the molecular cloud's star forming dust and gas. This exceptionally deep color view of the Cocoon Nebula traces tantalizing features within and surrounding the dusty stellar nursery.
