Description

The Bubble Nebula is a bucket list shot from my childhood inspired by a Sky and Telescope gallery photo. 

Very humid night and might have had some camera frosting up issues towards to end of the run (during the Oiii integration).

25 Flats and  50 bias frames each filter

New set of Baader CMOS NB filters with 6.5nm bandpass.

Framed to include the open cluster M52.

Description: Exact same processing as Original then inverted/SCNR/inverted for this color mix. A fellow AP'r really likes this look. Enjoy

Description: Additional processing with PI to reduce halos. I am pretty sure these halos were caused by the BP NB filters. I have retired that filter set and haven't had halos since. This was an evaluation run against my 533mcPro with the LxTreme filter vs the 1600mmPro with NB filters. Recently going back thru the catalog updating older images with current processing with PI. Wish I was working on new data by spring in Missouri, USA = 24/7 clouds...
