Description

The Crescent Nebula in Cygnus is a nice late summer target. This narrow band image is based on 20 subs in each of the SHO filters; 900 seconds, unbinned. Processed in PixInsight using their alternate mixing formula which puts the strong Ha signal into the red channel. My 0.75x reducer (APM Telescopes) gives my QSI683 camera and 130mm APO a nice, wide field at f/4.5. This frame is actually centered near the Soap Bubble Nebula, which ended up being a little too faint to be seen in this image without really staring. -- try the 8 o'clock position from the frame center.
