      Description

      This image of the Dumbbell Nebula, M27, is a bicolor narrowband image comprised of hydrogen alpha and OIII subs. It was acquired over several very windy nights in which I was confined to my light-polluted back yard. Filters were Orion Extra Narrowband 7 nm filters. A Baader 36 mm luminance filter was placed in front of the OIII filter to block near-infrared leakage.

      H-alpha 4 hours and 9 minutes

      OIII 3 hours and 12 minutes

      Total integration 7 hours and 21 minutes
