Description

Crescent Nebula (NGC6888), an emission nebula in the constellation of Cygnus at about 5000 LY. Captured 2 July. Although very low in altitude at around 7 to 10 degrees, managed to capture RGB and H-alpha subs. Have seen a lot of images from Northern Hemisphere astrophotographers but not so much from the Southern Hemisphere likely due to its low position.
