Here is the longer duration observation of #NGC6888 #TheCrescentNebula. No IR filter. #seestar #S50 #space #astronomy #amateur

NGC 6888 The Crescent Nebula - telescope processed image. Deep narrow-band exposures reveal a subtle outer shell of doubly ionized oxygen enveloping the brighter, filamentary hydrogen-alpha core.NGC 6888 The Crescent Nebula - unprocessed image. Long-exposure astrophotographs expose an intricate web of overlapping, shock-heated filaments that give the entire structure the look of a glowing human brain.

NGC 6888 The Crescent Nebula - telescope processed image. The delicate shell was formed when fast stellar winds from central Wolf-Rayet star WR 136 slammed into slower gas ejected when the star was a red supergiant.NGC 6888 The Crescent Nebula - unprocessed image. Central star WR 136 is near the end of its life cycle and is expected to detonate as a catastrophic supernova within the next 100,000 years.
