Description

Imaged NGC 6888 over a month (14 nights) from the dark skies of Spica observatory, in an attempt to capture the faint gases on the back of the nebula.
The excellent sky in Cyprus together with the performance of Esprit 150 and some help from BlurXterminator, gave to this image impressive resolution. Resulting FWHM is 1.6 arcsec/pixel which is remarkable taking into account that I image at 1.2 arcsec/pixel.
