WR 134 — Wolf-Rayet Bubble (Widefield)
WR 134 in Cygnus, a Wolf-Rayet star roughly 6,000 light-years away — a massive star in its final act, shedding its outer layers in a ferocious wind. The ghostly blue OIII arc is the edge of a wind-blown bubble where that material slams into gas the star expelled earlier in its life. The OIII signal is what makes this target, so it got an extra 50 minutes: 8h 20m of 3nm narrowband in total.
