Description

I only recently observed the Crescent Nebula, NGC 6888, through a telescope at a local astronomy club observing session (and just barely saw it!). Having become more familiar with it, I now wanted to try to get an image of it. I wasn't too concerned with framing the object better because I knew the image wouldn't be that great anyway since I am so new to this. I will try getting a better-framed image later! North is to the right.
