Description

My version of the Cresent.
I was surprised to discover how much Oiii it was in the area. I did not want to supress the Oiii data in favor of the Ha and processed it without toning down the Oiii hence the blue teal color.
Added RGB stars. This image was taken with the old flattner/reducer TSRED379 that is not at all suitabe for the Photoline 80mm f6 triplet. Stars in the corners are not good and the overall curvature is to large to be acceptable. The image could need more Ha data.
