Description

The Dumbbell Nebula, M27, NGC6853, a planetary nebula c. 1360 light years away.
Two sessions in Summer 2023 and one in 2022 with good seeing conditions.
300 sec subs with reasonable PHD2 guiding and a total of 4.5 hours
I managed to bring out some of the more faint nebulosity surrounding the main part of the nebula.
This is a reprocessed version in February 2024
