This data was captured and generously made available to anyone (Creative Commons "Moana project" ) by member @blackrig

For aquisition details and to see the other data available go here Crescent Nebula – Erellaz

The data has full SHO and RGB data and I tried different options until I managed something I thought did some small justice to the data. The straight SHO was just not to my liking (I don't do much SHO myself so don't have much experience with that  pallete) and the straight RGB was just lacking a bit of punch. So I combined the Ha with R and the Oiii with B, leaving G untouched and made this HaR-G-OiiB image. Possibly heretical but I like it.
Thanks for the data @blackrig
