Description

Still a lot to learn everyday about post processing. I will probably redo this object a bunch of times as I learn more. The Crescent is in Cygnus and the gases are being blown  by Wolf-Rayet Star WR136. I wanted to get the web of blue/green that covers the hydrogen alpha and I was happily surprised by the amount I captured in 6 hours of OIII exposures.
