Description

Bubble nebula (C11/NGC7635/Sh2-162) and its surroundings including the Brain Nebula NGC7538/Sh2-158) and the Salt and Pepper Cluster (M52/NGC7654/Cr455/Mel423) (c-sho-hubble):

I really wanted to do a widefield image that grouped a bunch of my favourite objects, the beautiful Bubble, the open cluster M52, and the underappreciated nebula NGC7538. Each of these would've been better done in one of my bigger scopes, but I decided to get them all in with my 4" Takahashi in order to better capture the surrounding nebulosity. There's actually even more nebulosity in the bottom---enough to make for a second panel---which someday I hope to get to).
