PN G75.5+1.7 is a planetary nebula with a radius of about 5 light years located about 4,000 light years from Earth. Assuming an expansion rate of 35 km/s, the nebula is about 22,000 years old - a fairly young object. This nebula is quite visible in both the Ha and OIII bands. It isn't overly faint, it's located in Cygnus, where many an astrophotographer dwells, so the story of its discovery is surprising. It was discovered in 2008 by amateur astronomer Dave Jurasevich. The first image of it was taken with the AP 160 mm refractor in the Ha band on June 19, 2007.

It's one of my early bicolor (HO) works. Imaging it was a pleasure, as was the processing, even though I had some issues with the collimation and my processing skills were not that great.

However, this is one of my photos that I like. The background is a riot but the soap bubble in the middle just calmly floats among it.

Workflow:
A. Pixinsight:
1. DynamicCrop,
2. DynamicBackgroundExtraction,
3. NoiseXterminator,
4. Starnet 2,
5. CloneStamp to fix some Starnet2 artifacts,
6. GeneralizedHyperbolicStretch.

B. Photoshop:
1. Gradient Map to assign colors to Ha and OIII,
2. Tweaked contrast, saturation, colors, etc.
3. Slight TopazDenoise polish with masks to avoid the "sharpening" magic,
4. Resize 70%.

Stars made by blending Ha and OIII (R=Ha, G=.8xO+.2xHa, B=O) and tweaking their color to make them RGB-like.
