Nebula
Bubble Nebula NGC 7635 - NGC 7635 in the constellation Cassiopeia is a H II region, emission nebula. It lies close to the direction of the open cluster Messier 52. The "bubble" is created by the stellar wind from a massive hot, 8.7 magnitude young central star, the 15 ± 5 M☉ SAO 20575 (BD+60 2522). The nebula is near a giant molecular cloud which contains the expansion of the bubble nebula while itself being excited by the hot central star, causing it to glow. - Wikipedia2 Sep 07 20:41:26 UTC, Canary Islands Dome 1 High Mag, 14 inch f/6 Schmidt-Cassegrain, SBIG ST-10XME CCD Camera, Sky Rating 2

Ring Nebula M57 - The Ring Nebula (also known as the Messier 57 or NGC 6720) is located in the constellation Lyra. It is among the most well known and recognizable examples of a planetary nebula. - Wikipedia24 Aug 07 22:34:26 UTC, Canary Islands Dome 2 High Mag, 14 inch f/11 Schmidt-Cassegrain, SBIG ST-10XME CCD Camera, Sky Rating 2.4 - Enhanced using Iris

Bow-Tie Nebula NGC 40 - NGC 40 (also known as the Bow-Tie Nebula ) is a planetary nebula discovered by W.F.Herschel Nov 25 1788, and is composed of hot gas around a dying star. The star has ejected its outer layer which has left behind a smaller, hot star with a temperature on the surface of about 50,000 degrees (Celsius). Radiation from the star causes the shed outer layer to heat to about 10,000 degrees (Celsius) and is about one light-year across. About 30,000 years from now, scientists theorize that NGC 40 will fade away, leaving only a white dwarf star approximately the size of Earth. - Wikipedia29 Aug 07 01:14:05 UTC, Canary Islands Dome 2 High Mag, 14 inch f/11 Schmidt-Cassegrain, SBIG ST-10XME CCD Camera, Sky Rating 2.2
