Description

Here we have the Wolf-Rayet bubble in Cygnus. Very impressive ring-like emission nebula, „blown by the intense radiation and fast wind from the star“ (Wikipedia). This star is a Wolf-Rayet star, located in the constellation of Cygnus and called WR-134. „Due to a temperature over 63,000 K it is 400,000 times as luminous as the sun“ (Wikipedia). Distance to earth around 6.000 lightyears.

This picture has been taken from my backyard. I am in a Bortle 3-4 area. 

This is the first version of this beautiful object, maybe I will add some more Ha and OIII later - if the weather is cooperative...
