NGC 6888 (The Crescent Nebula)
From time to time I obtain data sets from remote observatories. One of my favorite providers is Deep Sky West with telescopes in Chile and New Mexico. One of the data sets I received, was data from the Crescent Nebula (NGC 6888), located in the constellation Cygnus.
The images were taken with the following equipment (DSW):
Location | Rowe, New Mexico |
Telescope | Astro Physics RH305 |
Focal length [mm] | 1159 |
Focal ratio | 3,8 |
Mount | Paramount ME |
Camera | SBIG STX 16803 |
Filter | R:G:B:Hα:[OIII][SII] |
Exposure time [min] | 60:130:60:460:400:340 |
Resolution | 1,66″/px |
Data calibration and registration and the final processing was done with PixInsight.
The first image shows a HOO version:
For the next image I used the FORAXX palette.
