Description

My first narrowband image...

Crescent Nebula and surroundings.

The Crescent Nebula looks like emerges from space. Was created by the brightest star we can find in the middle. A Wolf-Rayet star.

On the rest of the image we find huge amounts of ionized hydrogen. On the bottom we see a planetary nebula discovered by an amateur astronomer on 2008.

Tech details:

Sky-Watcher NEQ 6 Pro tuned by HAS, Takahashi FSQ-106N, Moravian G2-8300 with Baader filters. 24*1800s HA + 24*1800s OIII bin 1x1. HOO Palette. Taken from my home observatory in Valencia (SPAIN).

Hope you like it...
