Two stunning Nebula, rendered in a "Cyberpunk" palette created by me! On the top left we have the "Bubble Nebula" (~8000 LY away), & in the bottom middle we have the "Lobster Claw Nebula" (~11,000 LY away), close to the constellation Cassiopeia.

Here's a closeup of the Bubble Nebula (NGC 7635) - which is created by stellar winds created by a seething star about 50x larger than our sun, and the gas pushes out from it in what's called a "stellar wind", sweeping up the cold gases around it, and creating the "bubble form."
And this is the Lobster Claw Nebula (Sh2-157), an emission neubla with both Hydrogen Alpha (in my rendering, the purple red), and Oxygen-3 (in my rendering, the bluish purple), residing anywhere between 8k-17k light years away from us!
Both nebulas have the use of Sulphur II to create a contrasting yellow, which is more prominent in the Bubble Nebula but does exist a little bit in the base of the Lobster Claw!
Taken over the past month using my telescope (Takahashi fsq-85edx), and @QHYCCD 268M camera, with over 21 hours of integration. The custom palette is one of my own creation, with
R=(Ha*2+Sii*1.7)*(Ha*Sii)
G=Oiii*4+(Ha*(Ha*Sii))+Ha*0.05
B=Oiii*4+Oiii*4*(Oii*Ha)
R=(Ha*2+Sii*1.7)*(Ha*Sii)
G=Oiii*4+(Ha*(Ha*Sii))+Ha*0.05
B=Oiii*4+Oiii*4*(Oii*Ha)
