How low a man can go: Cocoon from Lat=-20deg

Hello,
This is an image if Cocoon, declination=+47degrees, taken from a latitude of -20 degrees.

Of course the image has all kind of deficiencies, however the altitude range of capture was from 5 to 20 degrees (culmination).

From this image it is possible to see part of the dark nebula B168 surrounding the hydrogen nebula as well as some details on cocoon nebula.

The full resolution image is here

Thanks for looking,

Fernando
