SVX180T - IC5146

Tony Hallas took this incredible shot of the "Cocoon Nebula" (IC 5146) in Cygnus using his SVX180T.

This reflection, emission nebula is located near the naked-eye star Pi Cygni, the open cluster NGC 7209 and bright open cluster M39. Formed 100,000 years ago, this nebula is 4,000 lightyears away and 15 lightyears across.
