Cocoon Nebula

By Juan Carlos Cuckson & Javier Zayaz

We are two astrophotographers who set up our photography equipment every night when we go out to take photos and then take it down at dawn and return home. By both photographing the same nebula we get more information and it makes it worthwhile to drive many kilometers to find dark skies. The photograph was taken from the Sierra de los Filabres, in Almería, on the night of July 6th. Very close to the Calar Alto observatory. We both used the same telescope, a Takahashi refractor with an aperture of 106 millimeters. Hope you like it.
