Bubble and M52

[MartinB]

This is my first image using my new Mesu 200 and first image for 1 year (combination of technical problems and too many hobbies!).  It is also the first time I've had the chance to image anything this close to the NCP from my obsy since my neighbour has cleared a large tree immediately to my north.

Scope: FSQ 106

Mount: Mesu 200

Camera: QSI 532 wsg

Filters Baader Ha, OIII and RGB

Ha 9x30mins  OIII 8x30mins  and a few unbinned RGB subs for the stars (which I haven't done a very good job with because of a boob early in the processing)

Captured, calibrated and combined in Maxim and processed in PS

I'll be back sometime for a longer f/l effort

Very nice Bubble, color and focus too. Well done

Thanks everyone. It's just dawned on me that I've posted the wrong image!! This is a duplicate which I converted to 8 bit to do a pinch distort an of couple of bloated stars. I'll have to have a dig around my hard drive, hope the completed version got saved!

Here's the image I meant to post!

A bit of bling and a red boost to the faint nebuloisty
