M27 Dumbbell Nebula
This collapsed star has produced a colorful nebula which is a geat target for beginning imagers. I've been experimenting with a new camera and mount but we've had terrible weather and Canadian smoke. Last night I had a good enough session to capture an hour of data; this take on the nebula is ok but as is often the case I'm amazed by the depth of the starfield over my house revealed by the camera. Not a single star shown here can be seen by the naked eye through the light pollution and haze.
Tech Stuff: TV-85/Borg 1.08 flattener/ZWO ASI 533MC Pro/no filter. 60 min of 4 second exposures captured in SharpCap LiveStacks. RST-135E mount, unguided. From my yard, 10 miles north of NYC.
