NGC6888

[astro mick]

The crescent Nebulae in Cygnus.

Now high over head these Autumn nights,it seemed like a good target to try.

HOO with my ED102mm scope and Atik 314L+.(Astronomik 12nm Filters).

I got around 3 hrs per filter using 600 secs subs.

I purposely  did,nt stretch the stars too much,as i did,nt want to overwelm the Cresent.

Fully calibrated with Flats and Bias frames.

What happened with the background?
The cresent looks good, 2 pictures combine or just protecting the cresent during editing?

Hi Ceph.

Yes your right,i did struggle with the background.I found it difficult to process the Cresent and leave a natural background.Also putting the stars back into a starless image also gave me results i was.nt happy with.I do like the crescent though.

Thanks Ceph.
