ASTRO: Recently discovered "Cygnus Bubble Nebula" in Halpha

Just yesterday I became aware of a new "bubble nebula" in Cygnus near the
Crescent.

It is so perfectly round with such a well defined border that it really
looked like a plate defect in the discovery shot.

I imaged it last night at 0.41"/ pixel using the 18" f/12.6 classical
cassegrain (F=5760mm), the FLI Proline 9000 and the Baader Planetarium 50 x
50 mm square Halpha filter

The total exposure time was 10 x 20 minutes or 3 hours 20 minutes

Perhaps I can get a chance to shoot some other emission line filters in the
near future.....

I looked at my old widefield from 2004 and reprocessed it a bit to better
highlight it. Unfortunately it is a coarse image scale but it is definitely
there

I was wondering when you'd be taking a shot of it.

Also I've heard McNeil's nebula has again reappeared. I can't get to it
as yet due to trees and tons of clouds. It's just too low for my seeing
as well.

Great image Richard.
Unfortunately my rooftop terrace is to the southeast, so I can't do long
series on anything in Cygnus any more this year.
I might try next year, but I definately get less signal in Halpha than you
do, so it might be a tough target...
