Thanks Peter.  And the degradation begins.  I added data last night but conditions were not as good as the first night (and they probably wont be again for untold months).  In the end I am afraid it will be one long, downhill ride!  At least now I can really appreciate good seeing (and this was only 3/5 supposedly).  I can only imagine what 5/5 at a dark site would be like.

I havent done much over the past months .....but I did do some visual over these clear spells the views of M51 were just spectacular.

Wow what a lovely set of images.....beautiful detail

Thats superb, such a difficult one to do...

Lovely scale and detail...nice work

A superb rendition, beautiful detail

Great job and you have manage to capture those lovely pink HII regions

super shot.... I really like the FOV

beautiful shot

Shell or no shell its a super rendition...great job

Thought it might be worth posting the full frame... I quite like it with its extending shell, although it looks a little lost in the frame

Wow....  an explosive image..      It  seems to expand outwards and towards you as you look at it.

Thank you....The O3 was quite strong...you can just see it extending past the outer Halpha

Definitely the best image I have seen of this old favourite.

Thank you... it was a pig to get a smooth transition from the super bright core to faint outer shell ...Processed it in Photoshop cs3

I think that's possibly the most stunning image of M27 that I've seen posted here.

James

Thank you James....

Its been a while since I've posted... so I thought it was about time. M27 The Dumbbell Nebula showing its outer shell. Imaged with the William Optics 132 and an FLI ML-8300 in Ha, O3 and RGB and cropped in nice and close. Exposure times were 6hours of Ha, 6hours of O3 and 1 hour each In RGB total of 15hours.

Thanks for looking
