I managed to image M27 on Sunday night for 42 minutes of 6 minute subs before the clouds closed in for the night would have liked more data but thats our weather. 15-08-2010 scope 280 mm Celestron CPC at F 6.3 camera canon 400D modded UHC-S filter flats and darks calibrated Thanks for looking

Nice image Bob! I was disheartened when i had a go at this with short 1 minute subs as it was just a gray blob but seeing your great image has made me think about ahving another go! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the comments and I was pleased with the result but I would have liked more than 42 minutes of subs this August has not been kind to the imagers here in the UK but September might be better !!!
