Canon Rebel T6i (Modified), Canon 300mm f2.8is II + 1.4x TC III , f4, 240 second exposures (71 for a total of 4.7hours exposure), ISO 1600, Orion Altas EQ-G, Auto Guided with SSAG-Pro 50mm Guidescope, LDAS Light Pollution Filter, PixInsight, PSCC, Lightroom. Dark, Bias and Flat Frames taken for calibration.

Please view in shadowbox.

I photographed the Bubble Nebula (NGC 7635) over the course of two nights earlier this week.  I used to hate when we turned back the clocks as it meant darkness so early in the day, but now with my interest in astrophotography I welcome it!

This small object is generally photographed with very long focal length scopes to get as "close" as possible.  I decided to photograph it with a much wider field of view to incorporate the surrounding environment.  I had no idea what to expect and was really pleased to find that there are some amazing nebulae and dust clouds surrounding the Bubble.

Thanks everyone!  And at John... I'm absolutely convinced that we can't be alone.  Not in some "they walk among us" and "area 51" stuff, but there is no way with the vastness of space and all the other galaxies and solar systems and rocks floating around that our insignificant (in the grand scheme of things) spec of space dust can be the only place where life exists.
