![Bubble Nebula](https://images.naturephotographers.network/original/3X/1/8/1857c5f743a8ca7f2e8cacd59416c8bbc747f947.jpeg) The Bubble nebula (NGC 7635) is 7000 light years away in the constellation Cassiopeia. Formed by intense solar wind blowing off the massive hot central star. The bubble is a trillion miles wide. ### Specific Feedback Requested I did not really have enough time on this, perhaps a bit rough? ### Technical Details 3 hours of imaging with asi533 astro camera and Williams z81 scope in my backyard, Portland Oregon. Effective focal length 1220mm. PP in Astropixel, Pixinsight, Capture one, Affinity photo, Photoshop. ---

Nice view of a very interesting object, and very impressive that it was shot from a bright urban area. ---

Wow, cool shot! I’m always amazed by these types of shots. I think I might burn down and desaturate that one red blob in the upper right corner. Were those star bursts caught in Camera? ---

Since I know almost nothing about the technicalities of these types of shots I’ll just comment on the visuals. I always find your astro photographs to be on another level of sophistication Dan. This one is no different. I love the colors, the magenta reds and the bluish look of the bubble. I think the composition works well but you may want to add a starburst along the left side of the image to balance out all of the bursts on the right side. I would also see what desaturating the bright area in the upper right corner does. Just a little so it doesn’t grab the eye so much and compete with the bubble nebula. Beautiful, Dan. Just beautiful. ---

Another excellent image, Dan. These are so fun to lose myself in. Please keep them coming. I agree with the other comments about the upper right corner and another starburst to balance. Very cool. ---

Dan, I’ll echo most of what’s been said, especially David’s comments. Amazement continues on the efforts, and more importantly, the results of the astro photography. Impressive! I would agree just from an image presentation perspective to tone down the UR corner, but that’s somewhat picky of course. An observation I have is that all the stars (star points as well) seem to be “closer” than the nebula? I mean is that quite literal as the nebula is 7,000 light years away? I’m probably asking a naive astro question, so no need to even explain… 🙂 Love the colors and the deep sky. Lon
