Description

This stunning object was discovered by the amateur astronomer Dave Jurasevich in 2007. It was named PN G075.5+01.7 by the the international Astronomical Union in 2008. Most of you will know it as the soap bubble nebula near the Cresent nebula in Cygnus. It is not easy to bring out well. I decided for a SHO version with RGB stars and 400 seconds long exposures in narrowband, which seemed to be a good choice for my sky conditions. Like always, I had to push up the OIII signal strongly. Hope you like it.
