Description

This was the first clear night I was able to spend the entire evening on a single target: The Crescent Nebula, which I personally prefer to call "the brain." I've captured this target many times and enjoy the higher definition field of view from my Celestron EdgeHD 9.25", but the widefield has so many interesting components I knew I wanted to grab this target again and give it the time it deserves to provide good, clean data. And it did! I had fun trying different techniques before deciding the image I uploaded is my favorite.
