Description

This was a real milestone-photo for me, as I actually felt like I knew what I was doing in Pixinsight, finally. The photo is a little out of focus, but overall I am really pleased with how this one turned out.

Located 1,360 LY away in constellation Vulpecula, the white dwarf in the center is the largest ever found on record! And although it is most known as the Dumbbell, I think Applecore is a much more appropriate name for this one xD
