NGC6888 - a Narrowband close up!

Hello all,

while the weather here in Miami has not been cooperating, New Mexico offered us some good nights.
Here's NGC6888 in Narrowband.

Credits: Lightbuckets Telescope Rentals
Data Acquisition: Jim Wood, Jose Bellas and Emanuele Colognato
Post Processing: Emanuele Colognato

Mapped as follow: Ha:OIII:OIII for 60:60:60 for a total of 2 hours.

24" RCOS
RCOS Fork mount
Apogee U42
Res. 0.58 arcsec/pixel

In this image I wanted to focus on the OIII data, showing how it engulfs the Crescent.
Thank you for looking and always welcome suggestions, ideas and constructive criticism.
