WR 134 in Cygnus is one of the first known Wolf-Rayet stars, a class of rare stars named for their discoverers, French astronomers Charles Wolf and Georges Rayet. WR stars originally stood out due to their broad emission bands. Later, researchers found they were the result of intense stellar winds, which can form nebulae like the one seen here. This image was taken over 24¾ hours with a Ha/OIII dual-band filter and an 8-inch scope at f/7.3.
