Dumbbell Nebula (M27/ NGC6853) Dual Band

Revision title: Complete redo - Better core nebula detail

I have a habit of wrapping up an imaging session with a quick look at a future target for planning purposes before breaking things down for the night. I had just completed the run for the Peek-a-boo nebula and decided to see how the Askar D1 Colourmagic dual band filter did with M27. I have to say I was shocked when the nebula was just popping out boldly in the 1 sec targeting/centering previews....so then I decided on taking 1 5 minute exposure.

When that finished I was again blown away by the subtle outer nebulosity revealed when compared to my last broad band capture of this object. So instead of packing up I decided to capture another series of images until hitting the meridian flip.

All of this spur of the moment at 3AM.....such is the passion of this hobby! ;-)

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
