The Bubble Nebula! With two clear nights in a row, I chose to capture this nebula, which is located next to the Lobster Claw Nebula, which I imaged the night before. The Lobster Claw Nebula is located just off the upper right corner of the frame. As a bonus, there is a star cluster in the bottom left of the frame.
