Here is a bicolor narrow band image of the The "Bubble Nebula" (
NGC 7635, LBN 548). The open cluster M52 is also in this image as well as the open cluster [KPS2012] MWSC 3726. The planetary nebula KjPn 8 is also pretty clear in the image - but only in the
Ha data. There are LDN1231, Sh2-161,162 in this image as well. The thumbnail crop below is Sh2-162 and the Bubble.
The processing of the
Ha OIII data was in a starless mode. I am not sure I am pleased with the OIII data , but it is what it is. The
RGB star data was added after the narrow band starless processing.
Image and details are accessed from the link below. The annotated image can be linked from the main image page but I have also provided a link below for convenience. The full size image (1.84 arcsec/pix) can be accessed from the image webpage.
