NGC 7635, A Finished Work

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.
4.25 hours of 6nm Ha
ST10 on an AP130
A mid-sized image is attached, but a larger image and details can be found here:

Dan,
Absolutely awesome--that extra night was worth it. You're showing me the area as I've never seen it before.
Congratulations on this image,
Larry

Nice image Dan,

Your processing has shown crip detail around the bubble itself. Any special processing?
