Default ASTRO: NGC 6888, The "Crescent Nebula" in Cygnus

Very nice image George. Very good signal for a RGB image. A "pure" RGB sure
makes colour processing easier, but none of my colour images would have
enough signal to look good without an additional "L" image.

Taken under near-full moon. A 10:10:15 RGB image with an STL-1301E camera
and a 20-inch RC Cass working at around F/5. The focal reducer was never
intended for this use/scope, and that may explain why flat-fielding
brightened up the corners too much.
