Description

NGC 6888 is an emission nebula found in the constellation Cygnus.  It was discovered by Friedrich W. Herschel in 1792.  Also known as the, “Crescent Nebula”, it is estimated 25 light-years across and 5,000 light-years distance from earth.

I really like this filter!....I am open to suggestions on how to clean-up the background noise.
