NGC6888, SH2-101, & WR 134
The Crescent and Tulip Nebulas with Wolf-Rayet star WR 134 taken from Austin, Texas with MallinCam DS26mTEC monochrome camera with Baader Ultra-Highspeed CMOS-optimized SHO narrowband filters on a RASA 11" telescope. Image planning and acquisition with NINA. Processing with PixInsight and Photoshop.
Image is a 6-Panel mosaic taken July/August 2023. Captured with 60 second exposures, there are over 3 hours of each filter in each panel (total of 3,559 images).
The bluish bubble shaped nebula on the lower left is is caused by the solar wind from Wolf-Rayet star WR 134. Wolf-Rayet stars are rare (literally one in a billion), super hot and very bright bloated monsters with short lifespans in the millions of years ending in a supernova explosion. WR 134 is about 6,000 light years away (the brightest star in the center of the bubble).
