B168 and IC5146 with more data added

[Beyond_Vision]

I did another 110 mins of the Cocoon and Barnard's dark nebula B168 last night. I think it was even clearer than the previous night despite the Moon being brighter and up slightly longer.

This image is a total of 22x10 mins subs.

Here's a link to the previous image with details on the capture.

Everything about this is perfect.

Colours are awesome, stars are pinpoints and the B168 stands out very well indeed.

Sweet imaging and processing kev

There really isnt any substitute for exposure is there... well aperture I suppose ...or both

I do like that, lovely contrast between the nebula and the dust and good star colour as well. I'm just in the process of doing this myself but a close up of just the nebula. Any special reason why you show it upside down or shouldn't I ask!!??

Very, very nice work, the cocoon and dark nebula look stunning set in the mass of stars in the wider FOV.

Thanks for the great comments.

Dennis I never usually bother with orientating most objects. I usually leave it how it comes off the camera. At the end of the day there is no right way up in space

Vivid detail in the nebula and delicioulsly tiny stars. That's a keeper! Brilliant.

As mentioned on AC, a storming shot Kevin. The cocoon/dark nebula morphology is almost comet-like.

Great image Kevin. plenty of detail in the neb and the dark neb is a brilliant contrast.

Fabulous image Kevin. The previous image was good and the extra exposure has certainly enhanced things
