Description

This image was taken over three nights in early May with an ASI2600mm Pro through an Explore Scientific 127ED at f/7.5 using a Hutech field flattener.

The image comprises the following:

Ha:         49 x 300s
OIII:        44 x 300s
R:           40 x 15s
G:           40 x 15s
B:           40 x 15s

Total integration time was eight hours and fifteen minutes. The image was processed in PixInsight and tweaked in Photoshop.

The Crescent is another popular summer-sky object. This was my first try imaging it under Arizona skies with the 127ED.
