2nd image from this week, The Bubble and M52

Here is the 2nd image from LAAS from this week. A bit harder to process in many ways. Tried to bring out the details without over cooking it.

Very nice Floyd....

Another great image! You must have used most of the LAAS dust on the last one!

Hi Floyd, this is a great image of the Bubble, etc. I noticed that you used 6 min. 2x2 binning instead of the same exposure of 10 min for Lum except for binning. Can you tell us the advantage of more shorter exposures versus less at same exposure length.

You have had some pretty images lately Floyd. Your scope and camera are a great combo.
