NGC7635 Bubble Nebula

I managed to get three targets in this shot thanks to the little Asker FRA400 scope and the 533 sensor. Located in the constellation of Cassiopeia.

All data was gathered at www.astronomycentre.org.uk/

 

They are: NGC 7635 the Bubble Nebula. Discovered by William Herschel in 1787 it lies about 7,100 light years away and spans about 7 light years across.

 

NGC 7538 Northern Lagoon Nebula is the bright patch to the lower left. This is a stelar nursery some 9,000 light years away. It is actively forming proto stars, many of which are 40 times the mass of our Sun.

 

M52 open star cluster.

Also given the NGC 7654 tag.

Discovered by Charles Messier in September 1774. Sometimes called The Scorpion cluster lies about 5,000 light years away and is the only one of these 3 targets that can be picked up in a pair of binoculars.
