ASTRO: Cacoon Nebula

Taken from a farm just south of Blueknob State Park on 1 Sept 2008.
Taken with an NP-127 at F/5.2. Three 20 minute
exposures using a Hutech modified Canon 40D at 100ASA.
Image is 50% reduction.

Nice image Robert. You have also captured quite a lot of the "dark lane"
that leads to IC 5146.

You keep making me revise my estimate of what objects are too faint for
a DSLR.

Images like this make me want to get a wide field set up going. I have
the parts but for a second camera. Since moving the camera is a pain
the way it is set up and I have a ton of things to image in narrow field
I just can't seem to get moving on wide field. Then a shot like this
comes along and I'm kicking myself. Can't seem to do so hard enough
however.
