Description

NGC6888, The Crescent Nebula, is an emission nebula in the constellation Cygnus, about 5000 light years away. Using Player One dual band (Ha/OIII) in Bottle 4/5. Pretty happy with the result with only 2 hours 10 minutes integration.
Revised image has additional 2 hours 5 minutes for a total of 4 hours 15 minutes.
Somewhat faint, but the Soap Bubble can be seen in both images.
