Hi Steve. A beautiful NGC 6888 (Crescent Nebula) image. Excellent star field, contrast, nebulosity and filament color and it does look like a brain. Thanks for sharing this capture with us on here Steve and congratulations on receiving the TSS APOD Award today.

Really nice image Steve. I really like your color and details.

I have only toyed around with this target once immediately after I got the 533.

I like your image very much. Congratulations on the APOD!

thanks Joe... only this past week has there been clear skies, 4 nights in a row. I must be dreaming. I captured another 32 x 300 last night on this target before the clouds moved in.
