Description

Sometimes it's funny with this "standard candles" like Messier 27: A very bright and well visible target, but during processing I noticed how difficult this target really is. The inner area is very bright compared to the halo - and working out its colors was also a big challenge. For this bicolor composition I also captured some RGB images to dip the surrounding stars in color.

This was the first time, I could use the combination of my 10 inch Newtonian together with my new EQ8 mount. It's a fun to see how stable this is working: I didn't have a single image to remove from this 16-hour session. :-)
