Description

My favourite planetary nebula is this one - M27, The Dumbbell Nebula which resides in the constellation of Vulpecula (the little fox). I captured this LRGB data with my Celestron C925 HD telescope and Starlight Xpress SX 694 CCD camera from my home here in Ham on the South Coast of England. Not bad considering we don't get out of astronomical twilight at time of the year I took this in June 2022.
