Imaged NGC6888 or the Crescent Nebula with the Seestar 🔭 . Only 50 minutes data tonight - quite a few missed subs through clouds. Processed in PixInsight. #astrophotography

The Crescent Nebula in Cygnus, around 5000 light years from Earth.  It's a bubble about 25 light years across blown by stellar winds from a central star. The complex structures are likely a result of the interaction of the stellar wind interacting with previously ejected material.
