This might not be news at all, but to me it was. I found another Soap Bubble in the Cygnus constellation.

Per Aladin the object is PN G086.1+05.4. Not sure what the magnitude is of this object, but for those that like to image bubbles, this looks to be a good one. I will put more time on this along with my next project. I thought this was a cool find though!

Good find Bill. This is just a piece of info I found using the Sky-6
There is two images of this hear on astrobin. Do a search for PLN 86+5.1

I think they found the original soap bubble because it's close to a popular target.

This one is called Weinberger 1-10 (We1-10, PK 086+05.1, PN G086.1+5.4) and it's in a lesser known part of cygnus.

I think it is pretty easy to spot in wide field images if they are deep enough. E.g. on the top at 11 o clock in this image I did last year https://www.astrobin.com/ahaiyh/
