Description

According to Wikipedia, WR 134 is a variable Wolf-Rayet star located around 6,000 light years away from Earth in the constellation of Cygnus, surrounded by a faint bubble nebula blown by the intense radiation and fast wind from the star. It is five times the radius of the sun, but due to a temperature over 63,000 K it is 400,000 times as luminous as the Sun.

In simple English, WR 134 is a really big, hot and bright star that is ionizing nearby hydrogen and oxygen gas.

Sharpless 2-104 is claimed to be a poor narrowband target because there isn't much Oiii. However, I seemed to get enough after 52 hours of integration time!
