A poster format collection from the Cepheus project
The Cepheus project was my last published image before the major break down of my imaging equipment.
All images are in mapped colors from the emission of ionized elements, R=Sulfur, G=Hydrogen and B=Oxygen.
An Original blog post of The Cepheus project can be seen HERE.
Small images clockwise, starting from the top left

NGC 7380 and the "Wizard Nebula", start of the new project
Seeing was better than usually, FWHM about 2,5".
Image is very noisy due the short exposure time.

The "Bubble Nebula", in Hubble palette, apparent scale in the sky
NOTE. The size of the full Moon (0,5 degrees) is marked as a gray circle in all of the images.
- A wide field mosaic from the Bubble and Sharpless 157 to the Wizard Nebula at Right. Images are taken with a Tokina AT-X 300mm camera lens.
- A Sh2-157 and Bubble Nebula part of the mosaic, Tokina AT-X 300mm
- Zoomed in version from the previous image
- A close up of the Bubble Nebula imaged with a Meade LX200 GPS 12" telescope, focal lenght ~2000mm.
- A zoomed in version of image above.

Astro anarchy gets published
My image of the "Wizard Nebula", NGC 7380, get published in the Discovery Magazine.
In October 2011 issue, there is an article about multiverse, and they did use my image with it. Images can be found from a table of content , page 2, and in the story, page 31.

Bubble Nebula, apparent scale in the sky, horizontal editions
The bubble structure is created by a strong stellar wind, a radiation pressure, from massive hot magnitude 8,7 central star, SAO 20575, it can be seen in an image inside of the bubble, off centered at Right.
NOTE. The size of the full Moon (0,5 degrees) is marked as a gray circle in all of the images.

Bubble Nebula reprocessed, again
I made this animation originally to be sure, that I don't have any artifacts from my experimental processing workflow.
NGC 7635 aka "Bubble Nebula, Sh2-162 or Caldwell11, is a Hydrogen emission nebula in constellation Cassiopeia. It locates near the open cluster M 52 at distance of about 11.000 light years from the Earth.
The bubble structure is created by a strong stellar wind, a radiation pressure, from massive hot magnitude 8,7 central star, SAO 20575, it can be seen in an image inside of the bubble, off centered at Right.

Cassiopeia mosaic gets larger, now up to Cepheus
I started this imaging project at Spring season 2020m now I have shot more frames for this active region of the sky. At center of the photo lays the Bubble and cave nebula At lower left locates the Cederblad 214 and just few degrees to right from it lays the supernova remnant CTB1, it can be seen as a thin ring like formation. The Wizard nebula can be seen at upper right corner of the image. Note. there is a moon as a scale at a lower left corner of the image. This is a large area of space and I I have now join this mosaic image to a large one from 2012. I will continue this mosaic soon!
There is an interesting looking dim and large circular formation at center left, there is a bright star at almost center of it. Could this be an uncataloged supernova remnant?
Total exposure time is now around 150 hours, if older exposures are included. with my current wide field imaging system build around the Tokina AT-x 300 mm f2.8 camera optics. Astro Don 50x50 mm square narrowband filters, 5nm H-alpha, 3nm O-III and 3nm S-II. Camera is a massive Apogee Alta U16.
Click for a much large image, it's worth it! (1400 x 2200 pixels)

I need more space
I made a small poster, just for a fun.
Image used for a poster is shot back in 2010, more info about the M104 image HERE.
Couple of versions

The "Bubble Nebula", apparent scale in the sky
Natural color composition from the emission of ionized elements, R=80%Hydrogen+20%Sulfur, G=100%Oxygen and B=85%Oxygen+15%Hydrogen to compensate otherwise missing H-beta emission. Star colors are mixed from the NB channels, Red=H-a, G=O-III and B= 85%O-III + 15%H-a.This composition is very close to a visual spectrum.
