Messier 27 - A Reprocess of My Dumbbell Nebula Data in SHO - (10.25 Hours)
This is a narrowband SHO image of Messier 27 - better known as the Dumbell Nebula.
This was the result of 10.25 hours of exposure taken wiht my Astro-Physics 130mm EDT APO scope, with a ZWO AI2600MM-Pro Camera, and an IOptron CEM60 mount.
This is a reprocess of data that was collected 1.5 years ago. I was happy with this image and pleased that it had been published in Astronomy Magazine and in Amateur Astrophotography magazine - but I always felt that I could improve on it.
Now that time has gone by, I have new advanced tools that I did not have the first time around a new techniques that I had learned along the way.
The original version can be seen here:

I think I have gotten the stars under better control, and I have been able to bring out a lot more detail in the gas shroud around the core.
