Description

The Dumbbell Nebula (also known as the Apple Core Nebula, Messier 27, and NGC 6853) is a planetary nebula (nebulosity surrounding a white dwarf) in the constellation Vulpecula, at a distance of about 1360 light-years. It was the first such nebula to be discovered, by Charles Messier in 1764. 

***Note that I didn't use 5 hours and 30 minutes of Sii data. That means that 21.6 hours of data was actually used for processing this image***
