Details:
Here is a 16min. exposure of The Bubble Nebula with my new camera.
The nebula is an H II ( H+ ) emission nebula
in the constellation Cassiopeia.
The "bubble" is illuminated by the stellar wind from the massive hot mag. 8.7 young star (Only 4 million years old),
SAO 20575 with a mass of approximately 44 solar masses. As we can see, this bright star is obviously not in the
bubble center because it has moved a lot since it created the expanding bubble.
It was discovered in November 1787 by William Herschel.
