Description

I've always considered M27 an 'easy' target and usually shoot it casual with new gear as a sort of 'standard candle' test object. So, I'm a bit surprised by how uncooperative it is when you give it a deeper more serious effort. I started this too late in the summer because it's high at the start of dark and getting way too low by 2:30am. That and the atrocious conditions of late forced me to cull about half the frames I actually took. I think for what I was hoping for I'd need at least 3 times the integration. Oh well, I'm tired of processing this from scratch hoping for a better result, so here it is.
