Description

The Dumbbell Nebula, a planetary nebula, remnants of a dying star. Finally after so long a clear night here in Berlin.I used the time to shoot 5h of data taken with my QHY 268C color camera and a TS APO 140 refractor from @teleskop-service . Shot at F/6.5 with 300s subs on an iOptron CEM70 mount.The optics of the TS APO 140 F6.5 are just great. It delivers pinpoint stars with a 1.0x flattener even in the corners. I used the Optolong L-Extreme 2" filter, a duo narrowband filter for Ha and Oiii to overcome the light pollution. 52x 300s Light20 Flats10 Dark Flats10 Bias15 Darks Shot with N.I.N.A. and PHD2 guiding on #primalucelab #eaglele NUCStacked with #astropixelprocessor and processed in #pixinsight.
