PembrokeSteve Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Hi, I managed to image M27 The Dumbell Nebula (unguided) on 20th July 2020. Telescope: Vixen VC200L Mount: Skywatcher NEQ6 Pro Camera: Canon EOS 600D 103 x 60 second lights (unguided) 20 x Darks 36 x Bias 36 x Flats APT used for the actual imaging. Processed through APP, and Affinity Photo. Don't know if everyone else goes through the same experience, but I end up processing about 4 to 5 slightly different "final images", and then cannot decide which one is best !! Got a feeling that once I get my vixen's collimation spot on, it will become a fantastic imaging scope. It seems to absorb loads of light even with meagre 60 second exposures. Regards, Steve 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm waiting for 3 or 4 more pictures... 😉 That image looks really good, and as a processing beginner I'd be interested in seeing the others too (if you don't mind).

Mick J Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 That's a lovely M27, transparent core, good colour in the stars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
