Description

M 27, the Dumbbell Nebula. Last year on the dates of 6-7-21 and 6-10-21, I took 60"  exposures. This past 6-24-22 and 6-25-22, I was able to get more data on this object to try and get some of the outer shell exposed. Two nights in a row with clear skies is almost unheard of in these parts of NY. And especially around the new Moon which is 100% clouded out most of the time!

I also took 84 exposures at 120" as well this time around and so, I think that helped a lot. It worked to a point but I am satisfied with this so far. Of course my processing skills could use some more help.



Total integration time was just under 5 hours. Sorry, I am still learning the equipment database changes here.
