Description

3 hours on the Crescent Nebula in Bicolor (Ha + Oiii). We challenged ourselves to also capture the very faint and small Soap Bubble Nebula (Ju1). Can you spot it?

The Crescent Nebula was discovered in 1792, but the Soap Bubble Nebula was discovered by an amateur astrophotographer, like you and us, in 2007 (Dave Jurasevich), more info about the discovery here: https://www.galactic-hunter.com/post/5amateurdiscoveries

We really like this image and are glad we were able to get Ju1. We might reprocess it at some point with a different type of channel combination.
