Description

Crescent Nebula in natural color.

This sharpless emission nebula is some 5000 light-years away and was discovered by F.W. Herschel in 1792. Mgn. 10, diameter 25.000 light-years.

Applied filter :

No fancy stuff yet, LPR and just plain one shot RGB + some L in bin 2x2

I am waiting for a 12 nm Ha narroband filter to enhance details.
