Bubble Nebula (close up) -NGC7635

[alan4908]

In an effort to improve on my image of the Bubble Nebula from a few years ago, I decided that my existing data needed a longer integration time...... so at a total integration time of just over 26 hours here's the result.  The image, taken with my Esprit 150, is an LRGB rendition with an Ha blend into the Red and Lum channels.  I was particularly interested in seeing how much detail I could extract on the bubble itself, so I decided that it looks best cropped.

Thanks Martin. 

Yes, the extra time definitely helped with the bubble definition, although I still struggled getting good star colours. I think I need more practice.
