Description

NGC 6888, the Crescent Nebula, was imaged with hydrogen and oxygen filters from July 24 to 30th, 2021. About 25% of the collected data was discarded for various data quality issues, mostly due to wind or smoke. I tried to improve on previous attempts at the Crescent by adding considerably more time and off-axis guiding. Subs were 360s with Ha=119; Oii=147 => total integration of 26.6 hours.
