NGC 7635 - The Bubble Nebula

NGC 7635 - The Bubble Nebula

The Bubble Nebula is emission nebula in the constellation Cassiopeia and located to the direction of M52. The bubble is about 10 light-years across, and is being formed by a hot, young star whose stellar winds are pushing away the gas and dust of the nebula.

This image is a luminance-filtered image obtained on the evenings of 6 September. The image was obtained through a Telescope Engineering Company TEC140 f/7 refractor with an SBIG ST-8XE CCD camera.
