Description

NGC 6888 taken with a one-shot color camera and a narrowband filter.

This has been the longest project I've done this fall. I captured the data over several nights. The total exposure time is nearly ten hours. This is a beautiful target with a lot of background nebulosity. The Crescent Nebula itself is located 5000 light years away in the constellation of Cygnus.
