Description

M 27, commonly known as the Dumbbell Nebula, is the first planetary nebula ever discovered. Charles Messier discovered it in 1764 and described it as an oval nebula without stars.

This is my first time shooting this object. I did bicolor because of the light pollution in my area. After processing, I decided I did not like the bicolor stars and substituted mono stars from the Ha master, instead.
