Description

The cosmic landscapes surrounding WR134, a Wolf-Rayet star in the constellation Cygnus. A bubble of gas and dust is blown away by intense radiation and fast winds from the star, some 400.000 times as luminous as the sun with a temperature close to 63.000 degrees.

Still trying to understand the quirks to get optimal performance of the Hyperstar lense, but my skills are slowly improving. At least, the collimation and tilt is now somewhat acceptable.
