Description

Dumbbell Nebula

6 x 30sec images (no guiding) stacked in DSS (no darks) then adjusted in Lightroom, don't forget i'm still new and learning, and although there is quite a bit to do here i really liked the way its turned out so i left it.

Also it was my first outing with the CGEM-DX, (it ways a tonne!!) loads of errors setting up with the goto, alignment starts where nowhere near, but it put the Dumbbell in near CFOV so only having an hour to image i did the best i could, only managed 8 images but 6 of them over 30sec where usable. Turned out my GPS was 70mins out ?? on checking my time-site data.

Was very happy also with the stars at the edge! as this is the full image (not cropped) the C925 is proving to be a great scope both for visual and now imaging.

Moon was near full but in the NW-UK you take what your given.
