Hi all. I finally got a perfect night last night, with good seeing conditions and no wind. I started the evening by imaging the Leo Trio, which I will post later. Then I did a quickie version of M13, which I will also post later. Then, starting at 2:00 AM, the moon was about to rise so I set the camera to Ha and did 3 hours of the Crescent Nebula NGC6888. Here is the result. Comments and suggestions are always welcome.
Cheers,
Tyler
