Default IC 5146 - Cocoon Nebula in Cygnus

Dear friends,

I was debating about setting up last night due to a variable
temperature and volatile seeing conditions and decided to go for it
(nothing ventured, nothing gained).

Perhaps one of the nicest entries within the IC catalog is IC 5146
(Cocoon Nebula) in Cygnus. Last night's result based on just over four
hours total exposure is available at http://www.perseus.gr/Astro-DSO-IC-5146.htm
.. I lost some exposures due to a failed download by CCDSoft, a very
brief power outage and some damn planes that had a specific 0.5x0.5
degree field of view in mind.

Clear skies!

Anthony.
