Description

I don't have a lot of HOO palette images, so I gave it a go at Crescent and Soap Bubble. I also tried for the first time to combine the HOO data with RGB stars. The delicate Soap Bubble (PN G75.5+1.7) is faint, but clearly visible. I learned that this little planetary nebula was only recently discovered in 2007 by an amateur imager with a 160mm refractor. As often as Crescent is imaged, I was a little surprised by this.

Thanks for looking, and as always comments and critiques are welcome.
