Re: Nebulae sketches: Box, Crescent, Bubble, M52, etc.

I love the faint/subtle outer extents of the nebulae - so delicately rendered.

I've looked for the bubble nebula before but never long/hard enough to find it. People have said it wasn't visible (at all), though I'll try again at our dark site.




Hello,

The bubble definately showed nebulocity around the bright star. however I wasn't able to see the thin extensions of the nebula which should form the "bubble". (I think it should be observed with relatively high power, and larger aperture).

I remember seeing a sketch, somewere in internet, showing these extensions and part of the "bubble".
