A few more summer objects

[RobertI]

Out with the SkyProdigy+72mm frac+Lodestar a couple of nights ago. Sadly the mount is slowing dying, I'll post another topic about this, but I did manage to bag some DSOs.

Firstly the bubble nebula, with a decent amount of the bubble visible:

Next the Dumbell Neb, M27, the best of the night I think:

Barnard Galaxy was very faint but should have been clearer in this capture, unfortunately I messed up the white and black points which washed it out. Still an interesting find though - 1.6million light years away and part of the local group and not a satellite of the milky way:

The Veil nebula with and without an Ha filter. Although the latter is more pleasing I think more nebulsoity is visible without the Ha filter:

Finally Pickering's triangle, or at least most of it, in Ha.

 

Hope you enjoyed

M27 looks great, I think I prefer your Veil hiding amongst the stars (no particular reason).  Nice session, sucks about mount.
