We return to the Orion region after 2 years to uncover new details using our latest gear, the Takahashi FSQ-106 EDX4, a 6200MM camera, and 3nm Chroma filters. This setup promises to reveal even more breathtaking features than my 2022 attempt.
Astrophotography by Richard Harris
The Crescent Nebula, also known as NGC 6888, is an emission nebula formed by the powerful stellar winds from its central star, WR 136. This Wolf-Rayet star is nearing the end of its life, shedding its outer layers and creating the beautifully complex and bright structure we see today. The interplay of glowing gases and dust creates a vivid tapestry of reds and blues, making it a favorite target for astrophotographers.
