Dumbbell workout M27 first time

[matthasboldlygone]

Picked up some good tips and advice here and thought I'd give a nebula a go. Really happy with this one. Had to use 30 second exposures due to movement in the mount, annoying, but it worked ok. Maybe 45 minutes in total. Seems to be a more friendly target 🤗

Lovely image, that's the closest view of the Dumbbell I've seen. What equipment are you using?

I'd be well happy with that.  Really nice image.  Focus looks good and there's plenty of detail.  As per @MarkAR you don't often see it at this kind of scale either.

Thanks Mark, I did a bit of cropping and resizing in Photoshop to get a nice fit.
