Work in progress - NGC 6888 Crescent Nebula in Ha 18/09/08

[Whippy]

Clear but carp would be a fair assesment of last night's skies. But at least it wasn't as bad as the other night when everything got smothered in dew, be thankful for small mercies I suppose . Like the title says, this is is a work in prgress. Another hour or two should imrprove things but this isn't a bad start considering. Fingers crossed this weekend will allow me to give this nebula the attention it deserves!

Exposure time (so far) 1hr 48 mins (18x6 mins) taken with an Atik 16HR with an Astronomik 13Nm Ha filter through a WO ZS110. Guided by a WO ZS66, QHY5 and PHD. All sitting atop an EQ6 pro. Stacked in DSS and a basic process in Photoshop.
