Default NGC 6888 - Crescent Nebula in Cygnus

Dear group,

I have spent the past couple of evenings pursuing the stunning emission
nebula NGC 6888 in Cygnus with mixed results. Although successful at
capturing the plethora of stars in the region (nearly 8000 stars in my
image), I was partially successful in acquiring the dim portions of the
Crescent Nebula.

For last night's result based on just under five hours total exposure,
please see http://www.perseus.gr/Astro-DSO-NGC-6888.htm .... all
comments and suggestions welcome!

Anthony.
