NGC6888 Crescent nebula high resolution

[Avdhoeven]

This image is a combination from a dataset that I obtained from Insight Observatory taken with an AG10 CDK f/6.7 telescope in combination with my own dataset that I obtained with my TMB92ss in the past few years. The first dataset mainly contributed to the resolution while the second dataset helped with reducing noise and making the colors as I like (I used my own color layers in combination with true color stars from the CDK dataset).

For this image I made a bicolor using the Ha and OIII data and generating a green channel from the blue and red channels. After that I also made an RGB image using the color layers and using masks I introduced back the star colors.

Altogether this resulted in an image with a resolution of 0.48"/pix giving a beautiful detail of this nebula.

I'm quite happy with this result to be honest

In total 116 hours of data is incorporated in this image. Exposure details are below the image.

Telescope: AG10 CDK f/6.7 and TMB92ss

Well, I think that knocks the socks off. Bravo!
