NGC6888 in Cygnus

One of my favourites is the crescent nebula. Another run out for the modded 300D. My coma corrector is still attached to my hospitalised ATIK hence the slight coma.

I'm looking forward to the Autumn when this is high up in a dark sky and I have my ATIK CCD to go much fainter than this.

I have to say I love the asterism of 6 stars in the foreground here. Like a little Cassiopiea upside down (with a spare star too!)

Absolutely lovely. Just love this nebual, particuarly when you get to see it all at once, which is rather unusual actuall. Anyhow, great shot!
