M27, The Dumbbell Nebula; Vulpecula

250mm f/4 Mak Newt astrograph

ST-10XME

Total Exposure 7+ Hours;(HaR)GB  (310,39):39:39 minutes; unbinned

Comments: Another image from the way-back machine (taken in 2006). This large planetary nebula is a common imaging target and represents the death remnants of a star similar in mass to that of our Sun. Although frequently imaged, the delicate HII outer shell is not often seen, at least in 2006 it wasn't!
