The Cocoon Nebula, also known as IC5146, is a fascinating emission and reflection nebula located about 3,300 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus. This nebula is a stellar nursery where new stars are forming, with a bright central star that illuminates the surrounding gas and dust, giving the nebula its soft, cocoon-like appearance. The Cocoon is linked to a dark nebula, a dense, starless region called Barnard 168, which stretches out like a trail behind it, obscuring the background stars.

The Cocoon Nebula sits in one of the Milky Way’s richest star fields, so it's dark trail and glowing cloud stand out even more against a sea of distant stars.

Setup:
C8-XLT + f/6.3 reducer @ 1208mm focal length
iOptron mount, tracking
Ares-C Pro camera
Optolong L-Pro filter
SharpCap Pro & Siril

Total exposure time: 8 hours
Processing: mediocre

It's clear a non-trivial amount of effort went into making that. Opening and closing reminded me of some Karlheinz Stockhausen music I heard during undergrad.

That's actually an improvised synth piece done by the singer, using a little pocket device that's smaller than a cell phone. And I definitely need to check out some Karlheinz Stockhausen. Thanks for watching!

A couple of years ago, we discovered that AT&T geoblocks all VOIP traffic from India. We sent some configured phones to them, because the bosses were told by AT&T that it would work fine. Nope. All the tracert results clearly showed them dropping the traffic. But then a few months ago, it started working! The India team emailed me asking to change out the names/extensions, and since then we've had no problems.

I personally liked the interviews with Matt Damon and Jimmy Kimmel.

@CCWTech said in More toxic clients / people:

It's so weird, especially after learning other cultures now that I don't live in the USA to watch how people act in the USA.

Such entitlement. It's nuts.

Yeah, you rarely get that same weird entitled attitude anywhere else.

You can't make this up. New Zealand has to run a campaign to help teens handle breakups?

I am bilingual English/Spanish. I was trying to learn Russian the other day

Since the time that this thread was originally posted, I learned Italian and then Spanish. I've mostly lost the Italian, but I speak Spanish every day now.
