The Bubble Nebula, also known as NGC 7635, Sharpless 162, or Caldwell 11, is an H II region emission nebula in the constellation Cassiopeia.
It lies close to the open cluster Messier 52. The "bubble" is created by the stellar wind from a massive hot, 8.7 magnitude young central star, SAO 20575 (BD+60°2522).
The nebula is near a giant molecular cloud which contains the expansion of the bubble nebula while itself being excited by the hot central star, causing it to glow.

Hi folks, as promised, here's one of my first attempts at the Mosaic stacking using the dwarf 3 telescope. I'm not entirely happy with the way that it has turned out, but as a learning process and to give you a look at how things are going I thought I would let you have a look.
I think this could use some reprocessing and I'd like to tinker with it a bit more. Maybe it's one to get some other of my mates with Dwarf3 to do a star party collab with.
But as it is - not unattractive and gives me a feel for how it works. So what we're looking at here is a good wide view at least in terms of how the dwarf 3 does it of the Rho Ophiuchi neighborhood and the nebulas hanging around there.

Winged Sandals of Mercury: Deep Sky honourable mention.
Inspired by the recent discovery of the OED-1 nebula in Vela, the image shows a faint filamentary structure within the Vela supernova remnant.

Gum12b RGB Ha SII: Wide-Field honourable mention
Looking somewhat like a flaming tree in space, this image is centred around the nebula Gum12b located in the southern hemisphere constellations of Antlia and Vela.

I haven't settled yet on what's a decent VPN alternative, although my current frontrunners are Njalla (run by a co-founder of The Pirate Bay) and Nebula by Defined.net. Not sure about their politics, but distributed and Nebula is FOSS which is a positive signal, while not a guarantee.
What I've ruled out:
ProtonVPN - Actively working with government against activists
Windscribe - Transphobic indications
Mullvad - Funding a fascist leaning party
I'd love to hear anything people have learned about the alternatives, either pro or against. Boosts appreciated for reach.

Eagle nebula - m16.. shot over 2 nights in mono, total exposure around 5 hours. I'm at latitude 57°N, this nebula doesn't even get to 20° altitude and considering there is no astro-darkness at this time of year, as the exposures were coming in, I felt as if I'm picking apples from behind the fence that don't belong to me. Strange feeling.

I captured IC1396 (Iris Nebula) and NGC7023 (Elephant Trunk Nebula) over a few nights. These are some of my favorite targets to capture. Several versions attached, taken with different scopes. Enjoy!

The Iris Nebula (NGC 7023) during the June heatwave in northern Germany. This reflection nebula is located about 1,300 ly from Earth, where a bright star illuminates the surrounding dust.
This image was created over 4 consecutive nights from Bortle 5 with a total exposure time of 5 h 21 m 30 s (643 x 30 s). For more information see: https://www.picturavis.com/picture?/487/category/37-astrophotography

Cold and crisp, and long winter solstice time nights have made for great observation times here in #PerthWesternAustralia . So now that it's come over all cloudy and rainy it's time to do some processing.
I have been catching a couple of snippets of things at the end of a longer project, and this is one of them. The Lagoon Nebula says hi!
Just 55 minutes.

A gift for a friend.
Commission #1 is done, #2 is in the works. Next week will be no art upload for private reasons, so see you all in two weeks.
