Crescent Nebula HOO
Target:Crescent Nebula, NGC 6888, emission nebula and Wolf-Rayet outflow, Cygnus, 5000 light years away.
Location:19 & 20-06-2022 St Helens UK, Bortle 7, 68% Moon, astronomic twilight.
Acquisition:32x 240s Ha, 40x 240s (OIII). Calibrated with Darks, Dark Flats and Flats. Total Integration 4.8 hours.
Equipment:Skywatcher 200P and EQ6-R Pro, ZWO EFWmini, Altair H183Mpro, Baader MPCCMkIII coma corrector and 6.5nm narrowband filters.
Guiding:Skywatcher Evoguide 50ED, Altair GPCAMAR0130M.
Software:NINA, PHD-2, EQMOD.
Processing:HOO composit: DeepSkyStacker, Siril, Affinity Photo, StarXTerminator, Topaz DeNoiseAI.
Notes:No dark sky at my lattitude at this time of year so imaged during astronomic twilight, sandwiching the (OIII) between Ha subs to ensure (OIII) acquired at darkest time of the night.
