Messier 52 and the Bubble Nebula

The Bubble Nebula or NGC 7635 is an emission nebula in the constellation Cassiopeia that forms the look of a bubble in space. Messier 52 (M52, NGC 7654) is an open star cluster also found in the constellation Cassiopeia. Distances to this open cluster vary from 3,000 to 7,000 light years. I have read some estimates that this cluster has over 190 members.

Tech Specs: Sky-Watcher Esprit 120mm ED Triplet APO Refractor, Celestron CGEM-DX mount, Canon 6D stock camera, ISO 3200, 95 x 60 second exposures with dark/bias frames, guided using a ZWO ASI290MC and Orion 60mm guide scope. Image date: June 11, 2018. Location: The Dark Side Observatory, Weatherly, PA, USA.
