This image is close to 2 hours of integration with the Seestar on the Crescent Nebula under Bortle 8/9 skies. It probably needs another couple of hours to really capture all the details and reduce noise. Processed in Siril, Affinity 2.0, and PS Express. The formation of the nebula is driven by stellar winds from Wolf-Rayet star WR 136 colliding with the slower wind ejected by the star when it was in the red giant phase.
The trials, tribulations and small triumphs of a Charlotte, NC astronomer imaging under Bortle 8/9 skies.
