Description

This is a favorite of most of us astrophotographers out there.  Messier 27.  It is pretty close to us here on Earth, very bright, and has a lot of cool features.  I might go back and re process this image as I am starting to learn some new techniques which might make the core appear better, but I will share this first and then you can all compare how well I do in the future!!  Clear Skies
