The Crescent Nebula (NGC 6888) with EdgeHD 11 at F7 and F2 - 2021

This is the Crescent Nebula, also known as NGC 6888. It's is a fun and fantastic target that I worked on this year from June through early August 2021. I took 22 hours of integrations at F7 and another 8 hours with the Hyperstar v3 at F2. The F2 focal length is more like a nice wide 560mm while the F7 is around 1960mm. I neglected to show a visual of the F7 arrangement in this video. Just refer to my Celestron OAG v2 video, its the same arrangement. At one point I redid polar alignment and got it down to 6" plus clearer and more stable skies came along, lowering hfr and guiding rates. Stacking was done in AstroPixel and then lots of final processing done in PixInsight, including the use of Starnet to help bring out some of that outer shell O3 blue/green color.
