The wide field of the RASA scope can produce some spectacular results, as in this image of the Lobster Claw Nebula with several other objects (including the Bubble Nebula) visible. The Bubble is an emission nebula. The "soap bubble" is caused by stellar winds from a massive, hot, young star in its center. The image below it is a "plate solved" image which labels all the prominent objects. (Note: I made some edits to this image using a new tool, which greatly improved it.).
