Description

My only real attempt at this crescent nebula were from my Bortle 7 Backyard 2 years ago which I collected just over 2h of data through my triad ultra.
Yesterday, I had almost perfect conditions to image the nebula: Bortle 2-3 sky, no breeze, good seeing, good transparency, and "cool" night for the season (I'm in Texas so it's all relative).
I'm pretty happy with the result as it mark a big improvement over the 2021 version.
