Dumbell

[bokglob (Darrell)]

Hi everyone. I haven't seen too many dumbells posted lately, so here's one from Astrofest this year. Obviously could do with more FL on this, but a "wide field" is OK as I haven't imaged this before. This was a rushed last night effort and had a few gremlins in my guiding but didn't have enough subs to can the bodgies, so just combined everything. Details- M 27 LRGB 60 60 60 60 All subs 10 mins binned 1x1 Flats and darks subtracted No noise reduction or sharpening used in processing. Thanks for looking, and all feedback welcome and appreciated. Hi res full frame link below

That's really nice. I like wide fields, they put the object in context. Not sure, but maybe you didn't quite nail the focus.
