Buuble Nebula in Ha

[Paxo]

Wasn't going to bother posting this, but what the hell eh!

Telescope Orion Optics 8" f6 with 0.5 focal reducer

Camera Atik 314L, Astronomic Ha filter (13nm bandwidth)

20x300 second guided (Maxim DL) exposures:

Spent what seemed an eternity messing around with the focal reducer to get the effect I wanted. Then spent another hour going through a few double stars, I don't know why I haven't looked at these earlier. Got through Albireo, 95 hercules, 61 cygnus, zeta lyra, polaris, mizar and finished the evening with splitting the double double epsilon lyra.

That's a very nice image Steve. The bubble looks like a proper soap bubble

A very nice image, and nicely processed to give a smooth but delicate amount of detail - well done!
