Description

M27 The Dumbbell

Getting more familiar with the C9.25HD. While usually working wider fields of view, for this new moon I'd decided to try for some targets demanding longer focal lengths including the Dumbbell. As we head into summer's heat the desert air seeing is hit and miss.

To reveal a bit more of the inner shells of gas, I pulled a luminance layer then used StarNet++ to remove its stars; enhanced the nebular contrast then blended it back into the OSC color image with PixelMath.

Drizzle integrated; cropped; down-sampled.
