Description

M27 The Dumbbell Nebula is a planetary nebula about 1360 light-years away in the constellation of Vulpecula (The Fox). Overlapping shells of Hydrogen and Oxygen surround a white dwarf star at the centre of this nebula. 

I started off with the RGB version, then blended in Ha and Oiii using Pixel math in Siril. Never tried this before and I'm pleased with the result. I've now got "wings"! The Oiii was also used as a luminance layer.

Taken over 3 nights.

Clear skies!

Tony.
