Description

Crescent Nebula, NGC6888, remnant of an ancient supernova, located in the constellation of Cygnus not far from the star Sadr.

The gases and dust concentrated in the central part are illuminated by Wolf Rayet's star. The city sky did not allow me to further resolve the details of this fantastic nebula but the L-Extreme filter continues to prove to be a valid ally.
