Description

There are only 5 million photos of NGC 6888 on Astrobin already, but there are precious few with a widefield view and broadband natural color, taken under Bortle 1 skies!  This was a rather small data set with barely over 2 hrs of total integration time, but I thought it was worth reprocessing with current tools to see what this object would REALLY look like if our eyes were sensitive enough.  I need more Bortle 1 skies in my life.  Why am I stuck in a big city?
