Dumbell Nebula M27

[Laurin Dave]

M27 captured over a number of nights from mid June, when I got the Esprit,  till early September. 60mins each of RGB (30*2mins) and 90 mins each of Ha and Oiii.  Skywatcher Esprit 150ED on AZEQ-6,  ZWO ASI1600mm, EFW, OAG and RGB filters and Astrodon 5nm Ha and Oiii.  Processed in Pixinsight using the NBRGB script and Photoshop.

Thanks for looking

Dave

I'm not an imager but I love observing M27. Your image is stunning Dave

The pale red "X" effect is fascinating - I wonder what causes it ?

That's super nice, always enjoy images of M27, always slightly different,  good star colour and subtle colours in the neb, good work thanks.

That's a beautiful rendition

Thanks for your comments .. Had a quick Google and couldn't find much about what causes the X shape, to me they seem more prominent in the Ha/Nitrogen frames but seem to follow jets that are prominent in the Oiii frames.
