M27 the Dumbbell Nebula. Processed using DSS. Hardware details: Camera: Nikon D200. Telescope: SW Evostar 120 with Baader UHC-S filter. Mount: AZ-EQ6 guided using a ST80 synguider. Image details: Lights: 21 x 3min at ISO 800, Darks: 20 x 3min 20sec at ISO 800 (from dark library), Lights and darks separated by 30 sec intervals. Flats: 40 x 1/40s at ISO 800, Bias: 30 x 1/8000 at ISO 100 Date of capture 30/04/2016. Increasing cloud stopped imaging after about 1 hour, some wind, seeing was reasonable. Guiding was not great in RA but fine in DEC, PA was ok - I think I might have© D Elijah

My first planetary nebula, M27/NGC-6853. I know there is some room for improvement, but the clouds rolled in. Very happy with this so far from my unmodified 1000D. Bring on the winter months -
From the album: Deep Sky III
This image consists mainly of Ha with a small amount of Lum also blended into the central region in order to to better resolve the stars. The corresponding LRGB image with an Ha blend in both the Red and Lum channels, can also be found in this album. It represents 5.5 hours integration time. -

For my second attempt on M27, I used my new Esprit 150/10micron GM1000HPS combination (the result of the first attempt is in my Deep Sky album). This image represents about 10 hours integration. From a processing perspective, I decided to blend the Ha into both the Lum and Red channels using an Adam Block technique that I learnt through his "cosmic canvas" tutorial videos. Since the Ha is very strong and would obliterate the RGB information I decided to only blend a small amount into the red channel. Since I was interested capturing the faint outer halo, I decided to raise the level in -

The Dumbbell nebula (M27). Processed using DSS. Hardware details: Camera: Canon 600D. Telescope: SW Evostar 120 with Baader UHC-S filter. Mount: AZ-EQ6 guided using a ST80 synguider. Image details: Lights: 40 x 3min at ISO 800, Darks: 20 x 3min 0 sec at ISO 800 (from dark library), Lights and darks separated by 30 sec intervals. Flats: 50 x 1/50s at ISO 800, Bias: 50 x 1/4000 at ISO 100 Date of capture 05/06/2016. Atmospheric transparency was good. Auto guiding was stable. I increased the saturation by 25% and manually aligned the colour channel histograms© D Elijah

From the album: Deep Sky
Acquired in June 2015 whilst setting up my new obs. At the time, I couldn't figure out how to process the image, so the data had been been waiting for my PS skills to improve. In Dec 2015 I decided to have another attempt, however, this time I decided to try processing the star layer separately from the nebula. I also decided to change from using Maxim DL for the calibration and stacking to CCDstack2+, mainly because I've been impressed by the data rejection results of CCD stack. I also decided to separately stack the RGB channels from my OSC to see if this would improve matters. LIGHTS: 27 x -
Hi all This one was processed using Ha as monochrome Luminance layer. Ha 2x15m 2x10m 31x5m, binx1, 3h25m integration time RGB 5x5m each, bin1, 1h15m integration time, altogether 4h40m. Andy

Hi all Another M27, this time with H-alpha added: I set out to capture the outer shell, no matter how little or much. It may not be perfect, but I'm happy with it. 2x15min, 2x10min, 31x5min, RGB 5x5 in each channel, bin x1, altogether 4:40h of exposure. This is an HaRGB image, Ha integrated into red, and the separate HaR used as luminance. Andy

Sadly, this project is currently stalled by the atrocious weather but at least I have had one uninterrupted night of imaging to start the ball rolling! I'm aiming for a bi-colour rendition combining Ha and OIII data at 3nm. I have a lot of data capture to go but it's a fair start. Image Stats Mount: Mesu 200 Telescope: Sky-Watcher Esprit 150 ED Pro CCD Camera: QSI 683 WSG-8 Sampling: 1.04”/pixel Guiding: OAG/LodeStar Filter: Astrodon 3nm Ha Exposure: 10 x 1800 sec Date: 31/07/17 Calibration: Bias, Darks & Flats Full Frame Cropped Frame

Cloudy tonight so just having a look at how to find stuff easier next time . I made these for M27 and M56 ...

Does anyone else find binoculars are far better in the initial hunt for DSOs ? I found 3 new DSOs tonight with binoculars , M56 , M27 and NGC7000 and will have a longer look at them next time in a telescope . Well pleased with that result tonight especially given that the Moon is 92% full .

For the image below, I blended a small amount of Lum into the central M27 Ha region in order to reveal the stars. Since my 3mn Ha filter yields quite small stars, I decided to leave the main starfield as pure Ha. The image represents 5.5 hours integration time. My LRGB varient with the Ha blended into both the L and Red channels can be viewed here: Alan LIGHTS: L:9 x 600s; Ha:8 x 1800s, DARKS:30, FLATS:40, BIAS:100 all at -20C.

The Liverpool Telescope is a 2 m f/10 RC scope on La Palma, Canary Islands, that gives away their subs for free once the astronomers are done with them. A great way of keeping up the processing skills for Swedes while waiting for dark nights to come back in September. Of all the Liverpool Telescope data I have processed, this was possibly the best, and I think the final result shows some stunning detail in this nebula. In my humble opinion it is as good as, or maybe even better, than images I have seen from much larger scopes, including the 8.2 m Subaru Telescope (Hubble has only imaged a

Hey! I took this last night, as it was pretty clear for a change! Equipment used: 130pds, Star Discovery Mount (alt-az), 1300d, DSS, Lightroom, Photoshop. Total of 33 x 30 second subs. 20 x Darks, no Bias. 20 x Flats. Processed in light-room and photoshop. Thanks! -
For my second attempt at M27 (aka Dumbell Nebula), I decided to go for an LRGB rendition with an Ha blend on both the Lum and Red channels. When calibrating the data, I noticed that the Ha I'd acquired was much stronger than the RGB components, so to avoid a mainly red image consisting of Ha data, I decided to blend only a small fraction of the Ha. The image represents about 10 hours integration time and was taken with an Esprit 150. I was quite pleased to see some of the inner structure coming through and the faint outer halo is just about visible. Comments and criticism are welcome

Hi everyone. Not often I post in this section, but last night I finally had some working equipment and clear skies (with some moon...) So had a go at M27- The Dumbbell. I'm still learning how to process, and trying to figure out flats still. But I'll get there. 14 Lights - 800iso x 300 Seconds 20 Bias 19 Flats No Darks (Wanted to go to bed... it was getting late...)

Tonight was the best night out in a long time. The last couple of days the sky has been crystal clear, and today is friday, which meant nothing was on the schedule for tomorrow. Scope, filters and eyepieces: Today, I was using my one and only Skywatcher 10" dob, with my collection of explorer scientific 82 degree eyepieces. For the first time in a long time, I also used my CLS filter. Targets/observing: Before I headed out, I decided to have a look at skysafari 5 to see what I should have a look at this clear evening. Tonights list ended up including: M13 M92 M57 M27

Astronomical twilight ends 6:18pm Transparency: 4/5 to 3/5 (above average to average) Seeing: 3/5 (average) Location: Fort Collins, CO Elevation: 4997 ft. (1523 m.) Bortle 6 to 7 skies depending upon which direction you're looking. The Double Cluster is pretty clear tonight. I can see it in my binoculars as well. M31 is very clear, and in the Binoculars as well. I then try and catch M8 which is just barely above the building down the hill from me. The time is 5:40pm MST. M8 gives up it’s nebulosity only using the LP filter I use.

At long last I was able to get an image last night - was the first night since the 3rd October. I had a go at M27 with the ED120 and Canon 1200d (modded) with UHC-E clip filter. Took 12 lights of 300 secs at ISO 800. Lightly processed in Pigs in Space Pixinsight and Paintshop Pro X8. As usual any comments welcomed. Peter
