[AstroFest] Scraping the bottom of the barrel...

Yeah folks, I know I probably shouldn't share these but these were taken on my first imaging night before I'd had expert help with my polar alignment. Therefore, the stars are bloated and a little elongated, but still...I'm surprised what signal was there.

Canon 1100D attached to a C8 Edge HD with 0.7x reducer on my EQ6.
  1. The Dumbbell M27 stack consists of 36x 50s exposures at ISO1600
  2. The Ring M57 stack consists of 31x 30s exposures at ISO3200

No darks, no flats, and biases only for the Dumbbell. I had intended to go back to these and get more data, and get darks, etc, but got distracted by other objects (see my previous AstroFest posts!)
