Description

Nova Cas is the bright orange-reddish star just left and below the center. This is a beautiful part of the Milky Way, with M52 (up and left) and the Bubble Nebula (to the right). Combination of three shots, two narrowband (Ha/OIII) and a broadband one, made in March-April 2021. The first imaging run was made under curfew, read the full story on our web page (link above). The Nova brightened further in early May, reaching naked-eye brightness, but it was cloudy in Drenthe. Maybe not perfect, but we love this picture!
