The Crescent in wider field

[mackiedlm]

I had two short windows of clear sky this week and the new pier is really paying dividends - I would not have even set up for such short periods in the past.

So this ended up as a total of 3 hours over 2 nights.

I am particularly happy with how much of the Oii is showing at the front of the crescent considering only 3 hours and only the L-enhance. This crop shows it more clearly but the detail in the crescent does not stand up well at this level of zoom.

Lovely widefield image Mackie! You've captured and brought out the OIII shell around the crescent nebula really well
