Crescent Nebula- NGC 6888

[gonzostar]

Hi 

This is my version of the Crescent nebula.  This image is cropped. Could only mage 21 hours  worth of Data over a couple of months. 

As well as the crescent i also tried to catch some of the red  in the background

Telescope - 102mm APO ES refractor on a AVX mount

Camera- Canon 70d unmoded iso800 with a IDAS-D2 filter.  

Duration  21hours - 300s lights., Darks, flats and bias frames also taken

Guided with PHD2 and processed in PS

Of course improvement advice much appreciated  I have also attached the Tiff file if anyone would like ago

21hrs.tif

Thanks for looking

I like that. Nice and subtle. I’m sure there is more in there waiting to be teased out.

Thanksyou. With my limited processing skills i tried to tease out more. However it turned out  to "busy" ?

I find that too - less is more ?

Is it worth getting more data on the crescent Nebula?

I’d personally be inclined to move onto another target, and put a healthy ‘tick’ beside that one.

Glad you said that  I have had my sights on the Veil nebula tonight before the clouds rolled in!

Miraculously it was clear last night here so I pointed the scope at gamma Cygni and fired off a few subs.

It stayed miraculously clear hear for a couple of hours. Hopefully same at the weekend. Will keep that quiet

The area around Sadr was the first target i did with the Canon 70d a couple of months ago.  

How did it go?
