Hi all. I have had several good nights this week... what a change! Anyway, despite the bright moon, I have been imaging away using my Optec narrowband filters. Here a a version of the Bubble Nebula in Ha. I think I included about a dozen 20 minute exposures (I pruned a few out). This is the reduced version...

Scope: ASA N8
Mount: Losmandy G-11/Gemini
Camera: Starlight Xpress SXVF-H16
Filter Wheel: FLI CFW-2-7
Filter: Optec Ha

... and here is a full resolution crop. This image was processed to bring out the subtle nebulosity of the entire area. Thoughts, comments, and suggestions are always welcomed.
Cheers,
Tyler

Nice Tyler!
I like your processing on this,bringing out the faint surrounding nebulosity adds much to the image.

Tyler,
I like the image with the bubble and M52. The crop is pretty cool - I like what you got for detail inside the bubble.
