Happy Caturday, everyone!

This isn't my cat, Mimi, but a cat who likes to hang around here.

She's a sweetheart and enjoys keeping me company during my astrophotography sessions.

NGC 7635 The Bubble Nebula

It is an H II-region emission nebula in the constellation Cassiopeia.

Isn't it fascinating to see such a bubble in space? 🤩

Before I left Marblehead Light, I caught this shot with clouds to one side and aurora to the other. Not the best shot of the aurora but I think it's my favorite of the night.
