Crescent Nebula and Soap Bubble Nebula in HST palette

[Paramount]

Hi

I just finished collecting some more OIII and SII data on this last night, this is 20x10 minutes Ha, 24x10 minutes OIII and 26x10 minutes SII. It was taken with the Televue NP127is/FLI imaging system that I'm testing. (This system is going to be available from September). Auto guiding was by a Starlight Xpress Lodestar and Officine Stellare Falco guide scope on my Paramount ME. Dithering was used during guiding. The Soap Bubble nebula can be seen below and to the right of the Crescent Nebula but only shows up clearly on the full size image which is at the following link

Fantastic colours and a really nice FOV on this area. The full res view looks great, there is even a tiny blue planetary nebula in the upper left corner very close to the top edge of the image. Thanks for the view Gordon.
