Caldwell 27 - The Crescent Nebula

The Crescent Nebula, also known as NGC 6888, is approximately 4,700 light-years away. This shot was taken with my Celestron N11GPS SCT using the Hyperstar 3 and the modified Canon XS on May 13, 2009 and July 14, 2009. It is a stack of over a hundred 10 and 15 sec subs taken from my light polluted front driveway.
