Description

My first take on the famous Crescent nebula. Took frames for LRGB and HO. Initially tried to use all filters but the result was not that satisfactory so tried just HO and a bit of R. Unfortunately number of frames for OIII was half of the frames for Ha and the moon was at 70%. I am assuming that's why I did not vitually get any of the fine blue filaments. 
Telescope: Edge HD 8 with .7 focal reducer
Filters: Ha and OIII
Camera: ASI1600mm 
Toatal integration: 2.3 hours
