Description

I went all in narrowband with this target. I gathered 20 frames each of Ha, OIII and SII over six separate nights ( June 5,6,7,8,10 & 11). This is first time I have gathered this much data over such a prolonged period of time. I could not have done this without Sequence Generator Pro; I am so amazed by this software.

NGC 6888, the Crescent Nebula, is a cosmic bubble about 25 light-years across found in the nebula rich constellation Cygnus, about 5,000 light-years away.

Description: I didn't like the greenish tint in the nebulosity, so edited to this version.

Description: This is a version in the Hubble palette. SII to Red; Ha to Green; and OIII to Blue. Looks a little weird, but different.
