Edward Harp captured this brilliant shot of Mul4 (WR 134) in Cygnus with his SVX152T. This Wolf-Rayet star sits 6,000 light-years away from Earth and is surrounded by a faint bubble nebula, blown by the intense radiation and fast wind from the star itself. This object is 5 times the radius of the Sun and 400,000 times as luminous. The nebula surrounding it is a shell of hydrogen thought to have been swept up from the interstellar medium when one or both stars were on the main sequence. https://ow.ly/YpZK50ZVc6s
