Old favourite NGC6888 Crescent Nebula

Got back in the saddle with a high familiar target. Loads of issues from non-use, and an extremely lucky escape when a heavy shower of rain bowled through when i had fallen asleep and soaked everything (happily I got away with just losing a usb hub).

This is a cropped stack from 48 x 7 minutes Ha (1x1) and 70 x 7 minutes O111 (1x1) plus 20 x 7 minutes O111 (2x2) as the 1x1 O111 was weak; 7 minutes is as long as I can avoid guiding (but that's another issue) and arguably i have pushed it too far anyway. I have some rgb but it is terrible. Cropped to remove edges from different evenings etc

Love this. Mind if I ask what kit did you use to image this bad boy?

Wow. I mean it when I say this, that is the best rendition I’ve ever seen on the Crescent.

The is very much guys. 

souls33k3r; this is from my twin TMB/APM1200/152 - SX-H694. Happily I live next to an army base so I usually get good dark skies (when they aren’t playing!).

Excellent Crescent.

I've been battling this one myself, but your image is waaay better than mine. A spur to raise my game!

Very nice.  You did a nice job capturing the Oiii envelope.  Nicely processed to bring out the details without overcooking the data.
