Miracle of miracles, the weather cleared for a second night in a row, and I was able to finish work on the Bubble Nebula. I had posted a half-done image the other day.
I guess it should be properly titled 'Sharpless 162' since the full emission area is the dominant feature of the image. We are more familiar with the spherical cavity carved out by the Wolf-Rayet star in the middle, though.

A mid-sized image is attached, but a larger image and details can be found here:
