DSOs nr Dumbbell M27

[nytecam]

Good session the other night starting in late twilight via 30cm SCT @ f/3.4+Lodestar-Mx2+LL with old favourite M57 PN in 3s exp [1 with passing sat] and M56 GC near goto star Vega . 

As skies darkened slightly shot M27 in east in both 5s and 20s exp and, by comparison, tiny PN NGC 6905 nearby.  Tried also for PN Abell 68 but inordinately faint and not recorded.   

In these tiny constellations of Vulpecula/Sagitta/Delphinus within the Milky Way there are a number of open star clusters and globular clusters [GC] including remote and small GC NGC 7006 and NGC 6934. OC captured include NGC 6830 & 6827.  OC NGC 6823 is also a diffuse emission neb with dark 'vein' just recorded in 30s exp.

Data on images including exposure  - some cropped and enlarged

Interesting work again Maurice. It's fun to be able to jump around from object to object without spending hours on each one. It's an exercise in itself to see how many 'new' DSO's you can bag in one session.

Great stuff Maurice! I'm extra impressed given how close we are to the longest day of the year!

Thanks LJ & Paul for your interest. Yes - it's possible in the days before summer solstice to image in SE away from the twilit NW horizon from about 1030pm BST before it's dark - M57 started to saturate in 15s and in the exposure loop under LL each successive image is darker as the light fades as the histogram also reveals. London sky glow/ moonlight and twilight are all forms of LP and at times all three but I carry on regardless. If you need a rest do visual or long exposure AP but not me :-)
