The Bubble Nebula and surrounding friends


This was taken at Global RentaScope in New Mexico, using G14 which is the FSQ106ED and STL11000 combination. 900 second exposures LRGB using Astrodon filters.
It can be seen that the Bubble Nebula is surrounded by a host of deep sky objects, like M52 and NGC7538, but also wisps of ionised hydrogen and streaks of dark dust all set against the backdrop of the Milky Way.
