Bubble Nebula is a very faint (not visual) object in the constellation of Cassiopeia. The bubble is thought to have been formed by ionized gas emissions from a massive O type young star BD+60◦2522. According to this March 2020 paper (Link), the shell is formed by this fast-rotating O type star. This rotation and stellar winds create this bubble from the surrounding medium of perhaps its progenitor interstellar cloud.
This photo is taken over multiple days from Santa Clara backyard during the summer of 2020. (not with very favorable conditions).
