Photons to Photos #22 The Cocoon Nebula in HaRGB

In Photons to Photos #22, Ron will work up 29 hours of monochrome Ha and RGB data on the beautiful Cocoon Nebula, IC 5146. The Cocoon is well placed for imaging from mid-northern latitudes during late summer and early autumn. Ron collected this data from his home observatory in August 2024 using a Celestron 14-in EDGE HD and a QHY600M camera with Optolong filters.

This workshop continues our very popular “Photons to Photos” series, where Warren or Ron demonstrates a complete workflow from beginning to end. The other instructor will monitor the chat box and answers questions on-the-fly. This allows participants to see the entire post-processing workflow from beginning to end, learning how Ron and Warren use various processes, scripts, masks and settings in context.
