The Crescent and the Soap Bubble in Cygnus. From Pier 13 data shared with Pier 14 Syndicates. RGB H-alpha and Oxygen III Exposure times were 60s x 60 each in RGB, 180s x 120 in Ha, 227 x 180s in OIII, giving a total integration time used was just over 21 hours. Processed with Pixinsight and Photoshop.
I love the faint wisps of OIII around 34 Cyg near the bottom of the frame.
Thanks for looking

Hi Peter,
A great image that really does justice to that setup. The stars throughout the fov are excellent as I too have found whenever I've used it.
It makes a change not having to zoom in on an image of that area, simply to see if the faint outline of the Soap Bubble is visible. Unless you image it in SHO when it is easier to make it stand out, it tends to get lost in the redness, not the case here.
Thanks for sharing. One day when this image has long since disappeared off the radar and not immediately available for comparison, I may have a go and post my own version.
Cheers,
Ray

Thank you Ray, Its quite an under stated scope, the Kepler really sings on it too. I had to do quite a lot to the scope to get it fit for imaging, actually having to cut 20mm of the front of the carbon tube believe it or not. On my next trip in a few weeks I am hoping to refine it some more.
