That is a great picture! I love the Cocoon Nebula, its one of my favourite nebulae. Its a nice surprise that B168 is surrounded by dust, I have never seen that before. Keep up with the amazing pictures! Wow! That is a great picture! I love the Cocoon Nebula, its one of my favourite nebulae.

Either way, an impressive sight & informative artickle, considering I'm not overly literate on such matters Beautiful oicture, great work.

Reminds me of the Solar Corona, except for "externally heated" or is it?

You've made my day! I did my star-counting and polarimetry work on IC5146 back around 1970. Great to see that it's still remembered. Thanks! Bill Samson Wow Tammy! You've made my day!

I was just looking at IC5146 at the Golden Sate Star Party last Saturday. Used a 28" and could just barely make out the nebula visually and B168 was very tough to see, even with averted vision. Cool!
