Hallo south guys,
before two days we had clear sky. I took picture of open cluster M 52 and nebulae Bubble.
For this I used focusing with DSLR focus software and I used also full automatic timing exposures.

equipment: Canon EOS 350 D unmodified, Skywatcher ED 80/600 on EQ - 6
exposures: 15 x 5 min, ISO: 800
processing: IRIS, Adobe Photoshop
guiding: LPI camera + Guidemaster + notebook ASUS
location: Tuchorice, Czech Republic - Europe

I like the little nebula too, at first I thought it was a reflection in my screen but upon closer inspection I like the smooth look to it.

The image is sharp edge to edge except for the top right where a bit of distortion is visible. That's quite a nice FOV of stars you've ended up with. If it wasn't for that top right it'd be perfect in that respect

Nice work Pavel. This is a fascinating region of the sky. Really like it. You've managed the star colours well. Could the data be stretch more to bring out the nebulosity around the bubble further? I targeted the region a while back. Here's my attempt. Look forward to seeing more of your imaging efforts. Well done.

Jase, this is very nice image! Very good shot of this region. But don´t forget, I am using DSLR camera Canon EOS 350 D unmodified, for nebulaes, there is problem, that my filter in camera is not sensitive for nebulaes. If I use strenght processing, picture is not so nice, there is signal noise. But in future I am able to use more pictures (around 30) and this is better way to have better signal for nebulaes.

Thank you for your comments!
