M27 The Dumbbell Nebula in HOO

M27 The Dumbbell Nebula in HOO narrowband. First time I've imaged this in NB so had no idea what to expect. I like it.

From Wiki "The Dumbbell Nebula (also known as Apple Core Nebula, Messier 27, M 27, or NGC 6853) is a planetary nebula in the constellation Vulpecula, at a distance of about 1227 light-years. This object was the first planetary nebula to be discovered by Charles Messier in 1764... Given its semi-minor axis radius of 1.01 ly, this implies that the kinematic age of the nebula is some 9,800 years."
