The Dumbbell Nebula (M27)

The Dumbbell Nebula (also known as Messier 27 or M27) is a planetary nebula in the constellation Vulpecula and is approximately 1,360 light years from earth. This image is the result of a mere 6 x 200 second exposures, captured using a QHY8L cooled CCD camera attached to a Sky-Watcher Explorer 190MN Pro. The images were stacked and pre-processed in Nebulosity 3, with final processing completed in Photoshop CS6.
