Description

The third of four targets I imaged at my first star party (Eldorado Star Party 2021). Due to inclement weather during the star party, I was only able to grab three hours of RGB data, which was nowhere near enough to capture the detail in the inner core and the outer shell.  While I originally planned to collect some Ha and OIII once I returned home from the star party, I got distracted by other projects and a new telescope, so this image is incomplete.  If I ever pick up something with a little more reach than the AT115EDT I will revisit the Dumbbell and do it right.
