Description

NGC 6888 The Crescent Nebula but we all know its really the Brain Nebula.

This one was extra fun since I tried slapping my 130SLT Newtonian on the Star Adventurer. It's right at its 5 kg load capacity but got it to balance. Got a good polar alignment and crossed my fingers for a good result. To my surprise it worked out very well!

A little over stretched exposing some background noise, but I really wanted to bring out the blue OIII in the region.
