Description

I posted an image of the Crescent nebula earlier this week. I regretted that I did not have enough OIII data to bring out the faint blue filaments. A member (Axel Stoeller-Raimbault ) of my local astronomy club suggested that he could take some OIII data with his RC telescope to do go with my Ha data. He also has an ASI1600mm camera. We thought, all that was need was to make sure the orientation of his frames matched my image. At the end, neither orientation nor field of view matched. However, we had no problem in integrating the frames from the two sources! Here is the combined image. This time the delicate blue filaments are clearly visible, thanks to Axel's more than 4 hours of OIII data!
