You may also note that there is another Bubble which is 2 1/2 times larger and dimmer which stretches downward to the bright star near and to the left of image center. Aquired thru an AstroTech111edt refractor @ f/7, Nautilus Motorized Filter Wheel, Ha filter and SXVR-H9 ccd from Whiting, NJ 10-20-12 15 x 10 min exposures combined in Maxim DL, false color added.
