My first attempt at imaging the M27 Dumbbell Nebula

[acharris77]

Hey all, so after issues setting up the mount again I managed to get setup last night for imaging. So I decided to try my hand at the M27. I think I still got a bit of odd shape stars in the image like I did with my M57, but don't think it is as bad.

I took 30 x 60 secs and used DSS to stack with flats and darks. I then processed it in PS and I got the following result. I think it might be to sharp or noisy, but I am kinda happy with it as I am learning how to process.

Thanks for viewing.

That's excellent. You've managed to get good colour there too.
