ATIK Color Horizon (OSC) camera and Hutech HEUIB-II filter with a Sky-Watcher 190 Mak-Newt (1000mm f/5.3) on a Celestron CGEM DX mount, unguided.
Processed in PixInsight, Photoshop and Lightroom. All subs were processed as 32 bit images.
The first image was processed from the Live Stacked image. The 2nd image was processed from subs.
I've shot the Crescent several times before BUT this one is probably the best for both reflection and emission nebulosity!
Enjoy!

I don't know how I missed this one Brian , this is absolutely stunning . I love the nebulosity and the faint clouds outside the nebula. HASTA LAVISTA GREEN is a must have tool. You got it going on out there in Cali.

Some of your best work so far Brian. The best nebulosity!
The Pelican and M51 do give it a run for the money though.
