Description

Widefield Bubble Nebula. An emission nebula in the constellation Cassiopeia.. I am happy I was able to fit both NGC 7654 and M52 in the same frame. I left the final image at full size, opting not to re-size the image in processing.

From Sky Safari;

“NGC 7635 is about 11,000 light years away. The "bubble" in NGC 7635 is about 10 light years across. It was created by a fierce stellar wind from the hot, young, massive central star, which has blasted out the structure of glowing gas against denser material in a surrounding molecular cloud. The nebula is being energized by the hot central star, causing it to glow. The central star SAO 20575 is thought to have a mass of 10-20 solar masses.”
