DescriptionDiscovered by William Herschel in 1787. This has been a favorite target of mine over the years in both close-up and wide-field views. This was my second observation of the Bubble; the first was with my Evo 9.25. I enjoy the wider fields of view. The L-eNhance filter makes this object "pop". This was captured when I was still learning to control the colors of my camera; the later and widest field image provides a more nuanced view. Click on the "Related Observations" buttons to see them.
