Dumbbell Nebula (M27) in Vulpecula - April 2024 Photo by Turricula 120x10" exposure (20 min) Stacked and stretched in Siril Color balancing, noise reduction in Photoshop

The Dumbbell Nebula - M27 A couple of firsts with this one, first time on this target and first time I ran two telescopes, both imaging, at the same time. My son Karl really helped me a lot setting everything up and monitoring how things ran. M27 is a little small for my longest focal length, but it was fun gathering data on such a popular target. New for me, I am happy with how it came out, especially with only 1 hour of data. The Dumbbell Nebula is located in the constellation Vulpecula. . 60 x 60s Dark, flat, bias and dark flat frames used for calibration Taken in Providence, RI - Bortle 8 .

Messier-27 is called the “Dumbbell” or “Apple core”. It is nearby in our galaxy at 1,200 light years distance. 
It is the darling of amateur Astrophotographers who have a telescope with a suitable field-of-view. 
I photographed M27 from my terrace in Bordeaux France in November 2020.

Dumbbell Nebula oder Messier 27. My first picture of a planetary nebula. There are not much details, because I can't exposure very long and that's because of my azimuthal mount. At least you see the red edge and the blue inner. I just had to make the most of the rest of the good weather, which is over today. (For me, good weather is no clouds at night) Canon EOS 70D | 27,5 min | f/10 | ISO-1250 | 10" Schmidt-Cassegrain | 2500mm | #m27 #messier27 #astronomy #astrophotography #astro_photography_ #universetoday @universetoday #nature #naturelovers
