M27 Dumbbell Nebula

This is an image of the Dumbbell Nebula that I took 22 hours of footage in 11 days between September 27th and October 14th. The halo around it is actually larger and more colorful, but my computer started to not allow me to process more than 500 frames. It required over 1TB SSD. So I had to give up at some point. I realized that I was pushing the limit somewhere by saying that Bortle 6 was not enough for this job. It would have been much better in a dark environment. By the way, let me cry that my tracking was very bad almost every day 🙂
I also experimented with a lot of filters to see what I should do and what I should shoot.

The materials are the same:
Sky-Watcher Quattro 200P
Celestron EdgeHD 800
Celestron AVX
Celestron x.7 Reducer
Sharpstar x.95 Coma Corrector
ZWO 294MC Pro
Optolong L-eXtreme, Optolong UV-IR
89x300s Optolong L-eXtreme
118x120s Optolong L-eXtreme
87x 120s Optolong UV-IR
79x 180s Optolong UV-IR
48x 180s Optolong L-eXtreme

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
