Soap Bubble planetary nebula

We are moving! In preparation for that, observations, both meteorological and astronomical, will be discontinued.
They will resume once we have settled in at the new location in Tupperville, likely in July.

Soap Bubble planetary nebula, 2-Aug-2016 Scope: Orion 200mm Astrograph, f/4 Mount: CEM60 Guiding: KWIQ/QHY5 / PHD2 Imaging Camera: Atik 383L+ Filters: Astrodon 5nm Ha Frames: 8 @ 10m0s of Ha Total Exposure: 1h20mm Processing: PixInsight Distance: 1300 ly Astrobin link   The Soap Bubble is a very faint planetary nebula. It is dead-centre in this photo, (almost) visible as a slightly lighter ring against the background nebulosity. Although it is close to the Crescent Nebula (NGC6888) and has therefore been photographed countless times, it was only discovered in 2007, due to its faintness.
