Description

First time imaging in this region. Pretty cool to see in Live Mode with the ASI AIR pro. The new update supports live dithering. This little box does pretty awesome things.

The "bubble" is created by the stellar wind from a massive hot, 8.7 magnitude young central star, SAO 20575 (BD+60°2522). The nebula is near a giant molecular cloud which contains the expansion of the bubble nebula while itself being excited by the hot central star, causing it to glow. It was discovered in 1787 by William Herschel.
