Description

M27, the Dumbell Nebula, approximately 1,360 light years away from earth, is one of the brightest and most popular targets for amateur astronomers. This image taken from my observatory (Squirrel Valley Observatory) on 09/14/15.

8 of the best light frames out of 20 taken, 10 bias and 8 darks, stacked, no flats. No autoguider, so still room for improvement. Overall I was happy to see some internal structure showing.
