The Dumbbell Nebula (also known as Apple Core Nebula, Messier 27, M 27, or NGC 6853) is a planetary nebula in the constellation Vulpecula, at a distance of about 1,360 light years.
This object was the first planetary nebula to be discovered; by Charles Messier in 1764. At its brightness of visual magnitude 7.5 and its diameter of about 8 arcminutes, it is easily visible in binoculars, and a popular observing target in amateur telescopes.
Image is a stack of 56 x 10 second exposures using a Canon 6D and Meade 12" telescope.
This was taken with the Stone Edge Observatory 20 inch telescope near Sonoma California. This is a bicolor image with h-alpha and oiii data. There is a total exposure of 3hr57m in h-alpha and 1hr29m40s total in oiii. The exposure is probably a little overkill... but I had the time to do it.
Imaged with a Revolution Imager 2 Video Camera (RI2), 10-second video capture with the RI2 Mini-DVR, through a 8-inch Celestron Celestar-8 Deluxe Schmidt-Cassegrain reflector telescope. The AVI video file was then pre-processed using PPIP, then aligned, stacked and wavelets applied in Registax 6.

An Arrow In The Sky - Constellation Sagitta --- Sagitta is a small constellation found between the bright stars Vega and Altair. The name is Latin for arrow and represents the weapon that Hercules used to kill the eagle (Aquila). There is one nice Messier object contained in this constellation, the globular cluster designated as M71. The famous Dumbbell Nebula lies nearby, but it lies just over the border in the constellation Vulpecula.
Equipment/Info: Photographed on June 25, 2016 using a Canon 6D, Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L USM lens, iOptron Skytracker, settings were ISO 1600, f/2.8, 200mm, 3 x 20 seconds.
saved with settings embedded.
This was a short exposure attempt of the Dumbbell Nebula in a light polluted city. This nebula sits at least 1200 light years away (which is an estimate, apparently it could be even further), and is at least 2.5 light years across form tip to tip.
I was using a Canon 7D and the 300mm F4 prime lens on an ioptron tracker. I took 10 light frames at 60 secs, along with 10 flats, 10 bias, and 10 dark frames. The images were stacked and edited in photoshop.
Hoping for clear skies so I can try longer exposures and more frames with a longer telephoto lens.

Finally was successful in this shooting session after two years of trials and errors with countless fails of guiding and imaging. I was able to acquire a little over 1h10min for this image.
This was the very first DSO image I've seen when I was a kid on NASA's APOD, it amazed me on the first sight.
Clear skies everybody!

For the past few weeks, Mark Radice and I have been working on an astronomy sketching collab video, in which we both sketched the same objects but I did mine from photos, he did his at the eyepiece. We then got together to compare notes and have a discussion about sketching in general. The video is now live on my You Tube channel if you're interested in watching it: youtu.be/O8C3R176qm8
This sketch was copied from a photo taken with the Faulkes 2m telescope which I stacked and processed myself. I used a white pastel pencil and Posca acrylic paint pen for the stars, then the nebulosity was added by scrapping pastel dust onto my page and blending with a dry fluffy brush. The timelapse of me creating this sketch will be coming soon!
Dans la constellation du Petit renard (Vulpecula) à 1 200 a.l. de la Terre, la nébuleuse planétaire de l'Haltère M 27 (NGC 6853) se compose de gaz très raréfié, éjecté de l’étoile centrale chaude. Les atomes de gaz sont excités par le rayonnement ultraviolet intense de cette étoile et émettent fortement à des longueurs d’onde spécifiques.
Dans cette image composite en trois couleurs, une courte exposition a d’abord été réalisée par un filtre à large bande, enregistrant la lumière bleue de la nébuleuse, et ensuite été combinée avec d'autres expositions par le biais de deux filtres d’interférences à la lumière d’atomes d’oxygène à double ionisation et d’hydrogène atomique. L'ensemble a enfin été codé des couleurs bleu, vert et rouge, en premier lieu respectivement, puis combinées pour montrer la structure de la nébuleuse dans des couleurs à peu près vraies (cf. site Hubble).

The Dumbbell Nebula (M27 = NGC 6853) is a Planetary Nebula in the constellation of the Fox (Vulpecula). It is the result of a dying star throwing its gaseous material into space from the now small dim white dwarf star located at the center of the Nebula.

An aging star's last hurrah is creating a flurry of glowing knots of gas that appear to be streaking through space in this close-up image of the Dumbbell Nebula, taken with NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. The Dumbbell, a nearby planetary nebula residing more than 1,200 light-years away, is the result of an old star that has shed its outer layers in a glowing display of colour. The nebula, also known as Messier 27 (M27), was the first planetary nebula ever discovered. French astronomer Charles Messier spotted it in 1764.
We thought we'd mark the last night of astro-dark in London for the next two months by imaging a bright planetary nebula - and an object we haven't imaged for many years. Its brightness makes it a fairly easy target for viewing as well as for imaging and processing - perfect for when you have less than an hour of real darkness to work with.
The Dumbbell Nebula (also known as the Apple Core Nebula, Messier 27, and NGC 6853) is a planetary nebula (a type of emission nebula consisting of an expanding, glowing shell of ionized gas ejected from red giant stars late in their lives). It is located in the constellation Vulpecula, at a distance of about 1360 light-years. The Dumbbell Nebula appears shaped like a prolate spheroid and is viewed from our perspective along the plane of its equator. Its age is estimated to be between 9,800 and 14,600 years. The central star, a white dwarf progenitor, is estimated to have a diameter of 77,946.04 km making it larger than most other known white dwarfs.

Messier 27 (NGC 6853), also known as the Dumbbell Nebula, is a planetary nebula in Vulpecula constellation.
This is perhaps the finest planetary nebula in the sky, and was the first planetary nebula ever discovered.
On July 12, 1764, Charles Messier discovered this new and fascinating class of objects, and describes this one as an oval nebula without stars. The name "Dumb-bell" goes back to the description by John Herschel, who also compared it to a "double-headed shot."
It has an apparent magnitude of 7.5 and is 1,250 light years distant.

M27 / NGC 6853 is a planetary nebula in Vulpecula, at a distance of about 1,360 light years. The central star, a pre-white dwarf, is estimated to have a radius which is 0.055±0.02 R☉ which gives it a size larger than any other known white dwarf. The central star mass was estimated in 1999 by Napiwotzki to be 0.56±0.01 M☉.
This object was the first planetary nebula to be discovered by Charles Messier in 1764. it is easily visible in binoculars and small telescopes.
The Crab Nebula (M1, NGC 1952, Taurus A) is a supernova remnant and pulsar wind nebula in the constellation of Taurus.
At an apparent magnitude of 8.4, comparable to that of Saturn's moon Titan, it is not visible to the naked eye but can be made out using binoculars under favourable conditions. The nebula lies in the Perseus Arm of the Milky Way galaxy, at a distance of about 6,500 light years from Earth. It has a diameter of 11 light years.

Except for the rings of Saturn, the Ring Nebula (M57) is probably the most famous celestial band. Its classic appearance is understood to be due to our own perspective, though.In this well-studied example of a planetary nebula, the glowing material does not come from planets. Instead, the gaseous shroud represents outer layers expelled from the dying, once sun-like star, now a tiny pinprick of light seen at the nebula's center. Intense ultraviolet light from the hot central star ionizes atoms in the gas. In the picture, the blue color in the center is ionized helium, the cyan color of the inner ring is the glow of hydrogen and oxygen, and the reddish color of the outer ring is from nitrogen and sulfur. The Ring Nebula is about one light-year across and 2,000 light-years away.

Explanation: The first hint of what will become of our Sun was discovered inadvertently in 1764. At that time, Charles Messier was compiling a list of diffuse objects not to be confused with comets. The 27th object on Messier's list, now known as M27 or the Dumbbell Nebula, is a planetary nebula, the type of nebula our Sun will produce when nuclear fusion stops in its core. M27 is one of the brightest planetary nebulae on the sky, and can be seen toward the constellation of the Fox (Vulpecula) with binoculars. It takes light about 1000 years to reach us from M27, shown here in colors emitted by hydrogen and oxygen. Understanding the physics and significance of M27 was well beyond 18th century science. Even today, many things remain mysterious about bipolar planetary nebula like M27, including the physical mechanism that expels a low-mass star's gaseous outer-envelope, leaving an X-ray hot white dwarf.

The Dumbbell Nebula is a beautiful planetary nebula in the constellation Vulpecula. Its relatively high surface brightness makes it visible in virtually all telescopes (even binoculars).
For this one I borrowed a *real* astro CCD camera from a friend (thanks John!). It sees the red light of the Hydrogen emissions much better than my Nikon (which has an IR blocking filter that also partially blocks the part of the spectrum that Hydrogen emits in). Compare to my shot from two years ago where the blue Oxygen emissions show up much more.

At last a half decent picture of M27 with a new QHY8L camera.. It took me ages to figure out how to manage and stack the colour single pass feature. The manual does help!! I can now offer a tutorial.
Here the colour has been calibrated with reference to the Astrodon "true colour " filters without changing at all the colour mix or saturation.
It seems rather too blue to me.
C11-HD at F10, 20x600s and a rudimentary autoguiding.
A planetary nebula in the constellation Vulpecula, approximately 1360 light years from earth. Planetary nebulae are the remains of modestly sized stars, similar to our sun, which, having expended their nuclear fuel, shed mass and collapse to white dwarfs.
Data was obtained with a C11-HD and focal reducer, operating at f/7 and 2000 mm. The camera was an SBIG ST4000XCM camera, with an IDLH LP2 light pollution filter and the mount was a Losmandy G11. 25 x 10 min integrations, processed with DSS and Photoshop CS2. Image cropped for aesthetics. A very good night in Albuquerque. Once in a row!

Definitely my best work to date. Really happy with the results, light-polluted Honolulu or not! I did get some 900 second subs too, but didn't include them because of severe vignetting from the target setting over the city. But man those 900s subs were really pretty! More detail in one of those subs than this whole stack here. Need to start taking flats too...
