Description

The Dumbbell Nebula (also known as Apple Core Nebula, Messier 27, M 27, or NGC 6853) is a planetary nebula in the constellation Vulpecula, at a distance of about 1227 light-years.

The skies were unexpectedly clear, but I didn't get more than ~22 minutes of total integration as the wind picked up, shook the telescope and made most of the frames unusable.

Still pleasantly surprised with the outcome considerint it's barely 20 minutes on a very slow telescope (f/12)
