The Bubble Nebula is one of the most often imaged deep sky objects, yet I have found it one of the more difficult to process. This is a tri-color narrowband image using the Hubble Palette.

This semi-widefield of the Bubble nebula area includes the open star cluster M52 upper left and active star forming region NGC7538 upper right.  NGC7538 includes the largest known protostar, estimated to be 300 times larger than our solar system.
