Description

A quick capture of the Crescent Nebula, in LHaRGB, from my Bortle 6 suburban backyard. The Crescent is an emission nebula ~5,000ly away, that was discovered in 1792 by William Herschel.

Processed entirely in PI, with a Process Icon Set from a PixInsight for Newbies workshop by Masters of PixInsight, and cleaned up a bit with the EZ ProcessingSuite Star Reduction script, Adam Block method. This looks a lot different than my other Crescent, as that data was acquired at a dark-sky site with a full set of narrowband filters, but I'm still pretty happy with this one, given its only about 1h20m of integration time.
