WR 134 Reprocessed !

WR (Wolf-Rayet) 134 is a very faint bubble caused by the intense radiation of a hot star located in the constellation Cygnus. The star causing the bow shock seen here has a surface temperature of over 60,000 degrees Kelvin. It's energetic stellar winds cause surrounding gas and dust to become ionized, showing beautiful reds (hydrogen) and blues (oxygen).

This target is fairly challenging for a suburban astrophotographer due to it's very low brightness. The image here is the result of 24 hours of imaging time from my backyard in a Bortle 7/8 city.

Taken with an Askar 80PHQ, Skywatcher EQ6R pro, and ZWO 533MC pro. Stacked and processed in Pixinsight.

Remarkable Astrophotography Captures the Sublime Beauty of Universe

Visual artist J-P Metsavainio has a passion for sharing the beauty of the universe. It's a love that was sparked nearly 30 years ago looking at the stars in his backyard with a telescope he'd gifted his wife for Christmas. This has led to a long journey into astrophotography, with the Finnish artist spending hundreds, and sometimes thousands, of hours crafting he spectacular imagery.
