Cocoon Nebula, IC5146, LHaRGB

Wonderful image Kijja. Your star field and stars are great as well as you dark nebulosity. I am by no means an expert, but at full screen resolution without pixel peeping at full resolution I noticed two small things to work toward. 1) The white/lighter nebulosity is quite noisy especially the RGB component. I have have struggle with this in trying to bring out faint nebula or the IFN around M81. If you can use the GAME script in pixinight or selection tool in photo shop to select this area and subtly denoise using the chrominance layer it would clear it up. 2) The very of the cocoon could use a little more sharpening to bring out subtle detail. Again this would probably require more nuanced masking per above. Keep up the strong work and I enjoyed looking through your gallery of fantastic images! Clears Skies! -Brandon
