Description and Details: I started doing astrophotography in 2016 and of course NGC 6888 (Crescent Nebula) was one of my first targets, as it is bright and pretty easy to do well. I decided to go really deep with integration time on it this time just to see how much fainter detail I could pull out. This will probably be the last time I attempt this object. The majority of integration was captured this year, but did add on data from previous years. As with any object, you do reach a point in capturing with diminishing returns. It was a bit of an ordeal bringing all these data sets together.
