NGC7635, the Bubble Nebula, Luminance

Well, this is much better than my last image of this nebula. The addition of guiding and a refractor with less light scatter help, and also the use of a filter to exclude some light pollution. I plan to save this image as luminance for color later.

Part of what I like of this image is the detail that can be seen inside the bubble. I didn't expect it.
