Description

Finally I could image the Crescent with the CCD camera. The nebula was one of my first targets with the DSLR and I was always fascinated by the OIII areas, which seem to enclose the whole nebula. The 10 inch Newtonian is also more and more a pleasure for me - the resolution gain compared to the 8 inch is very clear. :-)

Description: During processing I had also created this version, which emphasizes the H-alpha in the background a little less. But the OIII part might look a bit more harmonious. As always, it's a matter of taste - but maybe one or the other likes it... :-)
