It is that complex of dust and darks just off the Cocoon Nebula.

Kind of like an inky presence just devouring the stars!

Some of you mentioned this is an area you want to try. Actually many wide fields of the Cocoon show much of this region. I think the deeper you go with the exposures, the more stuff that will come up in this field. Post Extras:       Bill W.
