Equipment:
Meade 10" f10, Canon 1100D Baader, UHC-E
Description:
Using a Meade 10-inch f/10 telescope and a modified Canon 1100D with a UHC-E filter, I captured 104 exposures of 600 seconds each, for a total integration time of over 17 hours. Despite average seeing and a summer temperature of 25 °C, stacking and processing in Astroart7 revealed the delicate filamentary structure of the Crescent Nebula (NGC 6888), highlighting the contrast between Hα and OIII emissions. The brightest stars appear slightly bloated, yet the nebula stands out with fine definition and striking colors.
