The Crescent Nebula in Cygnus


This the second object I planned to capture last Saturday. The H-alpha subs were taken at home and waiting for the color exposures. Finally, I was able to take a total of 2-hour color exposures from Buso. I did not use my focal reducer/field flattener as I thought that the resulting image would be small. However, I had to crop half of the image size to remove the elongated stars. I still want to gain experience in combining H-alpha with color and this was a good exercise for me.
