SH2-82
(Little Cocoon Nebula
)
Also known as the little cocoon nebula, Sh2-82 has a lot to offer. The reflection nebula surrounds the bright red emission nebula with a flare of the one side. There is also a long tail that hangs off which fast wide angle systems will pick up. Larger telescopes will pick up the structure not quite seem in this image. The RGB color filters did very well for this object.
