Description

WR-134 is a Wolf Rayet star, 6000lyr from us in the Cygnus constellation. It is 400,000 times more luminous than the sun and can be seen in the upper right of the photo. About 1/2 of the exposures used for the Oiii data for the upper right panel to capture the bubble. I believe the smoke made this task a lot more difficult than it should have been.  I had some difficulty getting the Oiii date to be fully represented  but the outline is evident. The data was gathered over the last 45 days, most of it over about 7 days of clear but smoky skies.
