Crescent Nebula

[Peco4321]

First ever time I've "seen" this lovely object,  couldn't make it out at the eyepiece but found it through live view after a few attempts. 80 x 20 sec exposures, ISO 3200, 20 x darks, 15 x bias, Skywatcher 150p on eq3-2 canon 1100d. Stacked in DSS and stretched in GIMP

Nice image !

I saw the Crescent a few nights back with my 12" dob and an O-III filter. I could make out about as much as your image captures.

Thanks, I love the different star colours in this area.
