NGC 6888

This is a narrowband image of the emission nebula NGC6888 (Crescent nebula)  in the constellation Cygnus, about 5000 light-years away.  This is thought to be formed by the fast stellar wind from the Wolf-Rayet star (HD 192163) colliding with the slower moving wind ejected when it became a red giant.
