Description

Star Party 27-29 Sept., 2019

Astronomical Observatory of the Autonomous Region of Valle d'Aosta (OAVdA)
Lignan Planetarium


The Dumbbell Nebula was one of those fascinating deep sky objects we saw for the first time and could imagine the second night of the Star Party.  Since then, the so-called 'Planetary Nebulas' are one of our favourite objectives. Those marvellousPN show the most beautiful forms, color,  strange and awesome patterns. Most of them are far or very small and need  a scope capable of getting its faint details.  Dumbbell is a pleasant exception.

This was the third DSO I processed from this experience and also for my surprise I used the 'creative' flats and darks.  Only 5 frames could be used for stack from 15 without filter while no one with filter, 13, could be used.  As we commented before we were just happy to see in our monitors this planetary nebula.

Process Oct. 11-29, 2019.
