Bubble Nebula and M59 (Oct. 2022)

 


This is 26x1200" with the Atik 460EXC through a SW 80ED at f/6.375, with the SW 80ED reducer/flattener.  I have always been impressed with the optics on this scope.  On this image, I had to balance the stars over the nebula against the stars in the cluster.  I wanted to show the cluster well but not overwhelm the nebula.
