Dive into Cocoon Nebula by Logan Carpenter

The Cocoon Nebula, IC5146, is a reflection/emission nebula that resides within the constellation of Cygnus, about 4,000 light years away. The 'head' of the nebula spans approx 10 light-years whilst the tail spans nearly 100 light-years.

The particular focus for this image was the Cocoon nebula’s comet-like tail of cosmic dust.

I've always loved images showing the dust tail of this target so that was a priority to capture and show in my image. It's been a while since I've tackled a dusty nebula so I had to reacquaint myself with the techniques (as best I could).

Elevate your space into a cosmic gateway with this remarkable piece. Whether you're a seasoned astronomer or just love stargazing, this poster promises to captivate your imagination and ignite inspiration

After 20 years of peering down a microscope as a Surgical Pathologist, Logan turned his gaze skyward, discovering a passion for astrophotography in 2019. He images the amazing Deep Sky objects of the Southern Hemisphere from his roll-off-roof observatory at home in New Zealand. More recently he has also been imaging with a rig in southern Spain to expand his reach into the Northern Hemisphere.

Logan collaborates with two international groups of amateur astrophotographers; one deticated to the searching for yet undiscovered nebulae; and the other group carrying out projects consisting of hundreds of hours of integration time to reveal hidden or rarely imaged features of known targets.

Meet Jesion

Hey there, space enthusiasts! I’m Adam Jesionkiewicz, the founder of Astrography.

Astrography isn't just a business; it's a sanctuary for anyone captivated by the stars, planets, and galaxies far, far away.
