The Rotten Apple Core Nebula

[Tim]

When I first started imaging, I used to spend a lot of time on M27. My wife used to complain saying; "Not that rotten 'Apple Core' again!". But planetary nebulae are my favourite DSO targets, they just fascinate me.

Here's some data I gathered at the end of a session, just 2 hours worth of Ha in 20 minute increments using my C11edge and Atik 428ex binned 2x2. I have added in some false colour (Ha+Oiii) from a couple of years back taken with an MN190.

There's still a few more of these images from last year tucked away in my PC, i'm trying to clear them out before starting any new images...

Thanks for looking.

That's a fighting core with some serious contrasts and structure.
