Description

I shot the data for this Crescent Nebula back in July 2023.  When I saw the Ha master my goal immediately became to process the image for the best possible view at full resolution.  Then came the battle of not too sharp, and not to soft. I also worked on showing the Bok globule the best I could.

My first Crescent Nebula image back in August 2015 with a stock Canon T4i. It's amazing the advancements we've had in the last decade. It's a great time to be imaging

I found a great article which I'll go back to from time to time. - Unveiling the stellar origin of the Wolf–Rayet nebula NGC 6888 through infrared observations
