M27
More commonly known as The Dumbell Nebula. Sometimes as the Apple core or egg timer as well.
M27 is a planetary nebula over 1,200 light years away in the constellation of Vulpecula. Discovered by Charles Messier in 1764 it's thought to be the first planetary nebula discovered.
They were given the title planetary nebulae by William Herschel, who thought that these kind of objects looked small and round like a planet.
Boring techie bit:
Celestron Nexstar 8SE telescope, Skywatcher EQ6 R pro mount, RVO 32mm mini guide scope, ZWO asi120mm mini guide camera, ZWO asi533mc pro cooled to -10c gain 0, ZWO asiair plus.
Darks, Flats & Bias.
