Dumbbell Nebulae

I found this one a good test of my equipment (C9.25, Canon DSLR, Hutech Light Pollution filter, Lumicon OAG with Meade DSI II Pro Mono and PHD 1.10.8a guiding) - the Dumbbell Nebulae - fairly low in the sky, dim, alot of light pollution. Guiding was quite tricky - about 4 of 8 shots (20 minutes each) was good enough.

The results I am reasonably happy with - now I have to improve my image processing skills. I took more care with my flats and refreshed the bias and darks and am slowly getting the hang of Deep Sky Stacker.
