NGC 6888 - Crescent Nebula

The Crescent Nebula also known as NGC 6888, Caldwell 27, Sharpless 105 is an emission nebula in the constellation Cygnus, about 5000 light years away from Earth. It is formed by the fast stellar wind from the Wolf-Rayet star WR 136 colliding with and energizing the slower moving wind ejected by the star when it became a red giant around 250,000 to 400,000 years ago.

 

Shot over the past few months over 8 nights. Framed it a little different than I usually see.
