Description

This is the Dumbbell Nebula, Messier 27, in the constellation Vulpecula. It's a planetary nebula that is about 1360 light years from Earth, and is about 2.8 light years in diameter.

I love the colors in this nebula--some of my favorite! I could shoot this target again and again, and always learn something new from it.
