Cocoon Nebula latest iteration

[bomberbaz]

I have added just another hour to this and really don't think I will get chance to add any more. As previously mentioned I reckon an hour or so's data from a dark sky site would really boost this object but I simply havn't had chance, nor am I likely too.

However maybe my processing is getting better, I do employ a less is more approach these days and I think this shows in recent results.

5 hours using 72ED - 183MC Pro - Askar DB filter and suite of D,Fl,D-Fl's used in processing which was with Siril and Gimp (G-Mic/Py-astro tools)

My last version top and latest version bottom for comparison.

Great image Steve. Definitely improved on the first image. Less stars, slightly more definition, contrast and detail in the nebula. 

I think 5 hours on it is enough and not sure you'd get much more improvement anyway. 

Once again a brilliant image, one to be proud of.

Pretty much what I was going to say. That extra hour has paid off, nice image!
