Description

WR 134 is a Wolf-Rayet bubble but most of the oxygen part of the bubble is quite faint and thin. In most images people concentrate on the top right detail but when I looked at the OIII integration there was a complete shell of oxygen and I wanted to see if I could bring it out. The challenge was that most of it was really faint.  This image also includes RGB stars.
