NGC 6888

Subject:	NGC 6888 Crescent Nebula in Cygnus.
Telescope:	Celestron 8" f/1.95 FASTAR Mode
Mount:	Losmandy G-11
Imager:	MX5c
Image Details:	A single 15 minute integration. A dark frame was subtracted. Self-Guided using STAR2000 software and hardware. The Crescent Nebula is a faint (invisible this evening) filamentary nebula like the Veil Nebula. It requires long integrations in dark skies. My first attempt was a 30 minute integration which washed out with sky glow.
