The Crescent Nebula's distinctive shape is sculpted by the fast stellar winds from Wolf-Rayet Star WR 136 smashing into the slower moving wind ejected from the star when it was in its red giant phase. The nebula was first observed in 1792 by William Herschel. The images below were created from a total of 90 minutes of exposure with a RASA 8, DS10C and NBZ filter. The starless version was created by Starxterminator.
