M27 - THE DUMBBELL NEBULA

I hadn't planned on imaging M27 this night I was just experimenting with my guiding set-up using my SC3 through my MN56. However, the preview shot of M27 looked good so I quickly grabbed 100 X 10 secs. Only filter used was IRB. Processing in Registax and Photoshop. I was pleasantly pleased with the results. M27 shows lots of detail. Image was captured on July 14th 2006 @ 01:47
