Description

The Crescent Nebula (NGC 6888) is a nebula formed by colliding stellar winds around a Wolf-Rayet star in Cygnus.  One of the better examples of a nebula rich in both H-alpha and O-III emissions.

My prior attempt was with a modded Nikon D5300 but I had trouble getting the O-III data to come through.  This time I used a ZWO ASI533MC-Pro and the results were much better.
