Description

June 13, 2018 - Crescent Nebula (NGC6888) AND Soap Bubble Nebula

It was one of University Lowbrow Astronomers club star party at Peach mountain, were lots of members gather around and myself, I don't really recall the details but I remember that it was a perfect night and setup to mainly capture the Crescent Nebula (NGC6888), so I did 70 subs for each of the Astronomik H-Alpha and OIII filters, each sub was 120sec using my Hyperstar setup (Celestron EdgeHD 9.25" with Starizona hyperstar, ZWO Astronomy Cameras ASI16000MM-cool, IOptron CEM60 mount).

At home I did a quick stack to technically show people what I got for the night and didn't really worked on properly process the data, till recently when I realized that there is another object in that field of view, it is called (Soap Bubble Nebula), not sure what is the NGC number for it and not even plate solving found it.

Later I found out that it was discovered back in 2008 which is relatively new and to be honest that is very exciting for me to capture such object by chance.

Hope you like it.
