Thanks everyone for the good comments. I did not plan for this turn out so well. It was a test run of the new columniation setting on the RC that turned out pretty well considering was just over an hour of data.

I have not posted many pictures lately due to the bad weather and setting up a new Richey-Chretien Ten Inch telescope but the weather improved in late November and I was able to image M27 on December 1, 2018 with my new telescope and it was pretty good with just a little over an hour of imaging time.

The nebula lies at a distance of 1,360 light years from Earth.

The Dumbbell Nebula was the first planetary nebula to be discovered. Charles Messier included it as M27 in his catalogue of deep sky objects in 1764.

Planetary nebulae are the remains of stars similar to our Sun. When they reach the end of their life cycle as evolved red giants, they expel their outer gaseous layers to form the nebula, which is then heated by the hot core of the central white dwarf. This will be the fate of our Sun in roughly five billion years.

Like other planetary nebulae, the Dumbbell Nebula is formed by a central star that illuminates its expanding shell of gas, expelled by the star after it had used up all of its nuclear fuel. The central white dwarf in M27 is really just the core left from the original star, and it is extremely hot.

That is an amazingly good, detailed image of M27. Congratulations and thanks for sharing.
