Crescent Nebula - NGC 6888 in HOO with RGB Stars

Last week I posted the Crescent Nebula shot at 600mm. Here it is shot with my other rig at 700mm. Images were acquired over the past 3 months over 12 nights. Cygnus was just clearing our roofline around 2:30 AM when I began shooting these Crescent images.

 

I processed this image in HOO adding the SII using ImageBlend. I had noticed that there is not much SII data in the crescent nebula itself, but that there is some in the background essentially mimicking the Ha data.
