Description

Wonderful Crescent Nebula plus another very dim object - Soap Bubble Nebula, which was discovered only few years ago - in 2009.

This is mostly RGB composite (120 min in total, so its quite noisy) with some HII and OIII data added to highlight the nebula and some nebulosity around. I wish we had more RGB data - this area looks beautiful in RGB!

Soap Bubble nebula is extremely dim - it can only be seen in my Revision B in the inset with more OIII data (this is the channel where it seems to be the brightest).

Revision C - decided to remove OIII data... This one looks more natural in my opinion.
