The Soap Bubble Nebula, or PN G755.5+1.7 is likely a faint planetary nebula found in the constellation Cygnus. The faint nebula was discovered relatively recently in 2008 on photographs of the Cygnus region. A cropped hydrogen-alpha image attached. Image was a total of 5 hr 40 min taken with a Takahashi CCA-250 f/5 astrograph with a QSI683wsg camera (Astrodon Gen2 Ha filter 5 nm) on a Paramount on the nights of 2, 4 October 2016 in Mayhill, NM (17 x 1200 sec H-alpha lights @ -20 degrees; 23 darks; 128 flats; 126 bias; processed in PixInsight 1.8.4.1195).
