Description

NGC6888 or the Crescent Nebula is about 5,000 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus. The nebula is formed due to the activity of a Wolf-Rayet star at the center of the nebula, which is shedding its outer layer creating the nebula.

The target was imaged in Ha and Oiii and presented in the HOO Pallet.

Here is the a more natural version.
