M27 Dumbbell Nebula with a lil bit of Ha

Description

I have the QHY9M back now and here is 5.3 hours of RGB shot using the Canon T1i combined with 40 minutes of Ha shot with the QHY9M CCD Cam. I am really frustrated with this weather, the outer shell is starting to show but I'm not overly excited with the color. Hoping to add more Ha data soon if the weather cooperates.

Thanks for looking
