  1. #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

  2. #SkyWatch #Astrophotography #Sadr is the bright star in this image. Also known as #GammaCygni it is the central star of the cross that makes up the #Cygnus constellation and is about 1800 light years from Earth. It is not the source of the large emission nebula #IC1318 that appears to surround it. #IC1318 is about 5000 light years from Earth and is sometimes called the #ButterflyNebula #StillLearning
