NGC 6888 The Crescent Nebula Ha+LRGB

Description

Here is 40 minutes (2 x 20 min) sub exposures in Ha using the QHY9 CCD Camera mounted on the TMB130 refractor combined with 6.5 hours of RGB I shot using the Canon 5D Mark II last year www.flickr.com/photos/terryhancock/4753680594/in/set-7215...

For this process I combined the Ha with the red channel of the RGB and added a Ha luminance layer.
