Description

The Crescent Nebula with the Soap Bubble.

Imaged over several weeks in April and May 2022 using 20 minute exposures and the Antlia ALP-T dual narrowband filter. Stars were shot separately with an L-Pro filter.

Processed using PixInsight using an HOO PIP rendering.  Drizzled 2x.

I was pleased to see the Soap Bubble  planetary nebula appearing so clearly - it is astounding that this was only discovered in 2007!
