Description

Last couple of days, I was able to image this amazing stellar structure from my backyard in North Carolina. Inspired by the famous Hubble Space telescope and so many amazing images @Astrobin, 
NGC 7635, also known as the Bubble Nebula, Sharpless 162, or Caldwell 11, is an H II region emission nebula in the constellation Cassiopeia. It lies close to the direction of the open cluster Messier 52. The "bubble" is created by the stellar wind from a massive hot, 8.7 magnitude young central star, SAO 20575.
The nebula is near a giant molecular cloud which contains the expansion of the bubble nebula while itself being excited by the hot central star, causing it to glow.

The NGC7635 nebula is an amazing and very curious structure, with beautiful lightness that simulates a soap bubble. According to NASA the star at upper half star, it is a bright O-type star that produced the stellar winds that ultimately shaped the nebula. The bubble is approximately seven light-years wide.
