I am so pleased to be able to process this; pier 12 produces such great data - I am always hoping I do justice to these scopes. IC5146, the cocoon nebula, was imaged with the 12.5 inch F/9 Ritchey Chretien telescope from RCOS. The image comprises of 16 Has, 12 reds, 18 greens and 12 blues, each at 10 minutes long exposure time, thus totalling an integration time of 10 hours. Thanks everyone and have a good night.

Hi Simon,  Just hoping that I'm posting fast enough that I complete them all before you post another image.   I agree with Phil, but not just as a background image for your computer.  I'm sure there's so little noise in that image that it would make a fantastic poster print.  Best regards,  Ray
