Attempting the Crescent Nebula with 3-minute exposures - my longest so far!

Crescent Nebula II by Steve Berkley

The Crescent Nebula (NGC6888) lies in the constellation Cygnus the Swan. This “cosmic bubble” in space owes its striking appearance to a central Wolf-Rayet star that pushes the hydrogen and oxygen atoms outward.The interaction is so energetic that it also produces X-rays. The Crescent lies some 5,000 light-years away and measures about 25 light-years across.

Took the Vespera out last night to shoot the Crescent Nebula. The red edges are pretty clear, but I think I should’ve gone for another hour to get more of the center areas. #space #nebula #crescentnebula #stem #geek #vespera

#SkyWatch #Astrophotography I have posted photos of the #CrescentNebula before but not ones created with my 250mm lens. This wider field of view shows the Crescent (lower right corner) amidst the hydrogen gas clouds of the #Sadr region in the center of the #Cygnus constellation. The Crescent is a shell caused by colliding gasses after a star explosion and is 5000 light years from Earth. #StillLearning

#SkyWatch #Astrophotography The #CrescentNebula is an emission nebula in the #Cygnus constellation. It formed 250,000 to 400,000 years ago when fast stellar winds from a hot WR star collided with slower moving winds expelled by the star when it exploded into a red giant. It lies 5000 light years away, which means that the light from the red hydrogen and blue oxygen of the object took 5000 years to reach the sensor of my camera. #StillLearning

NGC 6888: The Crescent Nebula

The Crescent Nebula, which to me looks more like a giant space brain than a crescent.

#SkyWatch #Astrophotography The #CrescentNebula aka #NGC6888 is an emission nebula in the #Cygnus constellation about 5000 light years from Earth. It is caused by the fast-moving stellar winds from the star WR136 colliding with and energizing the slower moving wind ejected by the star 250,000 years ago when it became a red giant. This image is 50 minutes (10x300 seconds) of exposure captured with my 250mm lens and ASI533mc pro camera. #StillLearning

APOD: 2020 October 17 - Cygnus: Bubble and Crescent

https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap201017.html

These clouds of gas and dust drift through rich star fields along the plane of our Milky Way Galaxy toward the high flying constellation Cygnus. Caught within the telescopic field of view are the Soap Bubble (lower left) and the Crescent Nebula (upper right). Both were formed at a final phase in the life of a star. […]
