Description

The Soap Bubble Nebula (PN G75.5+1.7), imaged in HOO, with RGB stars.  This planetary nebula is so dim that, in spite of its being right next to the Crescent Nebula (NGC 6888) and therefore in an area that is frequently imaged, it was only discovered in 2007.  The Crescent Nebula is just out of the frame at the top-right.
