Description

The Crescent Nebula is a Wolf-Rayet star in Cygnus, shedding it's outer layers into space.  This is one of the brighter WR nebulas, making it a very popular target for experienced and beginning astrophotographers.  I chose this target (not only because I haven't done it yet) because of my recent interest in Wolf-Rayet stars.  The Oiii rings around them especially interest me, as they're so faint.  I have already shot WR 134, and soon the Squid Nebula after I finish my upcoming project within the next weeks.
