M27 Dumbell Nebula

I know I've not long since imaged this but, I'd setup in hope of the clouds clearing over my local observatory.

Just as I was about to pack everything away, we got a gap in the clouds. M27 was ideally placed right in the gap, so I managed to get 30 exposures of 2 minutes each and some calibration frames with them.

 

Boring techie bit:

Skywatcher Quattro 8" Newtonian Reflector steel tube with the f4 aplanatic coma corrector, Skywatcher EQ6 R pro mount, Altair Starwave 50mm guide scope, ZWO asi120mm guide camera mini, ZWO asi533mc pro cooled to -10c gain 110, Optolong L'enhance 2" filter, ZWO asiair plus.

Darks, Flats & Bias.
