Description

Project Wolf-Rayet 134 in Cygnus with @Marcus Jungwirth and @astroflixall. As Marcus and I already planned to collaborate on WR 134 we asked astroflixall to join our project. 
Marcus collected all of the 7h RGB glory and together we were collecting duo narrowband data in mostly moonless nights under good conditions with our 8" Lacerta Newton at 800mm/f4 and the QHY 268C and my ZWO ASI 2600MC Pro, while at the same time astroflixall collected mono narrowband data with his 10" Lacerta Newton at 1000mm/f4 and his ZWO ASI 2600MM Pro.

7 Hours of RGB Data with OSC
22,25 Hours of Duonarroband Data with OSC
5,2 Hours of HA Data with MonoCam
7,3 Hours of OIII Data with MonoCam

Check out Marcus' and astroflixall' versions on their Astrobin page to see their result!

Wolf-Rayet 134 is located in a distance of about 6.000 light years in the constellation of Cygnus.
The special and very unique thing about WR 134 is it's blueish outer shell with a lot of fine structures which consist mostly of emitted and illuminated oxygen, caused by the strong stellar winds which are typical for Wolf-Rayet stars.
Wolf-Rayet stars are known to be some of the hottest and brightest stars in our universe, WR 134 is 400.000 times as luminous as our sun.
