Description

NGC6888 also known as Crescent Nebula in the Cygnus  Constellation, although to me it looks more like a brain 😅

I took it last night with the camera sensor literally boiling at 40C degrees. I did what I could to reduce the noise and I think it needs at least other 4 hours to get more details on the borders, but I'm happy with the result considering the conditions.
