Summary

[edit]
Description

There are three interesting deep-sky obj ects in the photo.

Just below center to the right is an open star cluster known as Messier 52.

In the center, you can see the Bubble Nebula. Zoom in if you can and see if you can see the bubble.

Near the top of the image just to the right of center is another nebula known as NGC 7538. It is the home of the largest known protostar, which is an estimated 300 times larger than our entire solar system.

This image is a stacked version of 30 one-minute exposures with a Celestron 8-inch Rowe-Ackermann Telescope and an ASI 294mc color camera.

Taken at the Deerlick Astronomy Village, near Sharon, Georgia on 9-29-19.
