Summary

[edit]
Description

Finally, a bit of time and some clear skies allowed me to do a bit of astrophotography over the last two evenings. Here is NGC6888, the Crescent Nebula. A very nice and contrasty bubble of gas ionized by the radiations from a very intense star. Now if you look closely, somewhere in this image, you may also find what has been very aptly named the "Soap bubble nebula". Look around and you'll see it. This soap bubble is a planetary nebula, the remnant of a dying star shedding its outer layer during its demise. It was only discovered in 2007 by an amateur astronomer. 74x 240s exposures.
