NGC6888 The Crescent Nebula

Description

Over 3 nights I have captured 6.5 hours of photons, my latest target being NGC 6888 "The Crescent Nebula" using the Canon 5D Mark II mounted on my TMB 130 F7 Refractor.

This is one of those subjects that is quite dissapointing without either a H-a or 0lll filter, unfortunately I went to use my astronomik clip-in H-a filter and it wouldnt fit my 5D, (hence I sold it on AM yesterday) so this is it for now and I hope to be adding some H-a photons later....it's a must!! IMHO

Thanks for looking.
