IC5146 - The Cocoon Nebula

[Skyline]

I took this image of the IC5146 - The Cocoon Nebula a few days ago. Taken with Celestron OMNI XLT 150 Newt , Skywatcher 0.95x Coma Corrector and Modded Canon 1100D. Processed in DSS and Paint Shop Pro.

24 x 5 Mins Lights, Flats and Bias applied.

Beautiful shot especially with such a moderate set up, you certainly know how to get the best out of your kit

Nice job--Keep Going!!!  The dark nebula is starting to come out.  The red looks very smooth.  Well done
