Here's a quick H-a of the region surrounding the Bubble Nebula. I wanted to see what I could catch in the area in a short amount of time.

Here's the Bubble up close. It's a little soft, but hey, it's been enlarged a lot!! I'm amazed at the detailed shock waves inside the bubble.

Tom,
Both are cool images. The wide field is particularly appealing to me.

It's really amazing the depth you can get at f/4 with that exposure time.
That scope sure is a performer.
