Description

First stage processing of NGC 6888 Crescent Nebula and PN G75.5+1.7 Soap Bubble at the bottom edge of the image. I didn't realise I captured the Soap Bubble at first, so it came as a happy surprise 

H-alpha and OIII data were combined using the ForaxX HOO palette. I will revise this image at a later date once I collect more data and will also see if I can tease the soap bubble out a bit more and reduce the amount of ringing around the bright stars.

==============

Revision B
I used the same data as the original version but made some minor processing changes. This version includes the use of BlurXterminator during the deconvolution step and a better balance of the colour palette. The red and blue histograms haven't been pushed so hard which makes the image less overpowering. Whilst the OIII shell around the nebula isn't as pronounced in this version, I think the subtle contrast to the H-alpha is actually quite nice!
