The Bubble Nebula from home (narrow band + RGB stars)

Hello!

I'd like to share the result of a first effort in impressing from home (Bortle 5) the Bubble Nebula in Cassiopeia constellation (almost near to the Cepheus constellation border).
That region is so interesting due to the presence of molecular clouds and HII regions!
The Bubble nebula has a roughly spherical shape due to a stellar wind generated from a young hot star!
In the same region the wonderful open-cluster M52 is also visible. Sure a mosaic will reveal the marvellous of all that region of atomic hydrogen ionized in its vastness and complexity,

In order to capture as much details as possible with a 100mm refractor, I tried to integrate in this astrophotography journey almost 10 hours in narrow band (using the L-eNhance filter from Optolong). Also other hours in RGB (with L-Pro filter from Optolong) have been added to preserve stars colours; then I combined both the processed starless and stars integrated images.

In PixInsight I used the Generalized Hyperbolic stretch which I found very interesting in let all details to show up carefully.

All the best and CS!
Davide.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
