Wide view of M27

[Beyond_Vision]

Here's my attempt at a wider view of the Dumbell Nebula. I was fighting against the Moon and the lack of true astro darkness.

Taken with a APM TMB 105 fitted with a WO 0.8x focal reducer/field flattner and Neodyium Filter, Canon 400D ISO 400, 40 x 2 min subs. Guided with PHD. Stacked with DSS and processed in PSCS3 and Noels Tools.

Very nice! I had to heavily crop my image of M27 which takes something away from it I think.

That widefield is awesome

A beauty Indeed Kevin. You've put a fair bit of work into this one, and It has certainly paid dividends, that is one Ace Result.

Absolutely stunning, Kevin! Widefield has always been my favorite.. puts things more into perspective, I think.

Real nice image Kevin, and a fine processing job too

I was bashing away at this last night too....pretty much the opposite of a widefield....the 14 inch 'don't do wide

Cheers

Thanks all for the nice comments. It,s great to get out at last and grab some images despite the Moon trying to wash it out..

That's a very nice widefield. I like these sorts of shots as it puts the object in context - well done.
