Description

Whilst hunting around in Vulpecula for faint galaxies I thought I'd have another go at M27.

This famous planetary has got to be one of the show-pieces of the entire sky. I

took these images a few days back during a very clear spell. I got 35 x 120 sec

exposures, guided with PHD, which is just enough to show the major features of

the planetary. I still don't really understand why planetaries all look so

different!
