NASA APOD and the BBC World News for the Crescent Nebula collaboration.

A collaboration project between myself Astrobloke
and
We gathered 30hrs of data on NGC 6888 The Crescent Nebula in Ha & Oiii narrowband data,
We post processed all the data in Pixinsight and were all really pleased with the final image. We sent it to NASA and was completely honoured with the APOD for the 17th June 2021. Further more we were also mentioned on the BBC world News.
Quite a day and one we will always remember.

Congratulations on a very well deserved APOD my friend!! I think collaborations are a great new way that the Astrophography community can get fantastic amounts of data and produce, literally, APOD winning images of our wonderous night sky!! Wes, Liverpool, UK.

Fantastic achievement, Glenn - congrats. Great video as well - 3 great guys getting recognised for doing what they enjoy and what they’re really good at. 👏

Fantastic news and well deserved. Can't understand why 2 people would dislike this unless just jealous.

[astrocatinfo]

Really well done. Very much deserved. That’s a super detailed, clean and sharp image of NGC6888. Many of us photographed it, but none as amazingly great as yours. Congrats!

[cityspaceastro]

Superstars all three of you. Keep up with the collaborations and you probably get another one :-). It is particularly inspiring for me living in Chelmsford seeing what you can achieve from these light polluted Essex skies. Well done again and Clear skies.

Always enjoy the videos and have subscribed to your colleagues channels as well. Just starting out myself and hope within time will be as good as you guys.

[foothillswildlifecamera]

The image quality is really remarkable! I know your trio would be happy with the result even without an award, but it was well deserved! Keep on striving. Maybe I can get my Iris Nebula finished... no APODs forthcoming, LOL

[andyweeks]

Chuffed indeed! VERY happy for you Glenn!

[ChucksAstrophotography]
