M27, NGC 6853 Dumbbell or Dumbel ??

Hello everyone,

I'm almost done setting up all my new gear...

Just had time for a few shots of M27 low on the horizon. Not the best but a big personal improvement (I attach my previous best! what a shocker! )

Will keep working on focus and I need to touch up the collimation on C14 just a wee bit but I'm still happy I got one image out of the weekend despite the setup not being 100%.

Anyone know what the "right" spelling is for this nebula? Is it with one or two "B"s ? My software says 2 Bs, the NASA site seems to also use 2 Bs but then I also found it spelt with only one.

I'm suspecting its an "American spelling versus Australian spelling" kinda thing.

hope you All had good luck on the weekend. I'll be at it again next w/e weather permitting!
cheers
frank
