Description

The Bubble Nebula is a fascinating cosmic phenomenon that showcases the power and beauty of a massive star. The nebula is 7 light-years across – about one-and-a-half times the distance from our sun to its nearest stellar neighbor, Alpha Centauri – and resides 7,100 light-years from Earth in the constellation Cassiopeia.

This is one of the most spectacular examples of how stars can sculpt their environment and create stunning cosmic art. It is also a glimpse into the future of our own Sun, which will become a red giant and blow a similar bubble in about 5 billion years.

This was the first time for me to image this nebula, and I didn't expect to get much details due to the focal length of my system, however in less than 3 hours total integration time with 97% moon and from bortel 8, it's beauty insisted to show
