Description

When my 7 year-old son saw this picture, he called it butterfly nebula. It looks more like a butterfly than a dumbbell indeed. People do see same object in different shape from different angle and color processing. I shot this target was mainly to fill up the early night before helix rises high up around midnight . The result is quite surprising good. M27 is simple brighter than most nebulas. Even the combination of my 1 hour each R/G/B data looks good as well.
