Description

Short exposure of the crescent while testing my new dual exposure setup with a 72/432 photo refractor mounted piggy-back on the C9.25 - the idea was to use precious guiding time for two objects in parallel.

This view of NGC 6888 is at f10 and cropped to one half - and it would clearly need more exposure (see artifacts when stretching) or use of the F6.3 reducer, but I started late and forgot mounting the reducer (and dawn is breaking fast in summer...).
