I've been taking Ha and OIII shots of M27 The Dumbbell Nebula through breaks in the clouds here in Denver, Colorado over the past month. This Ha-OIII-OIII shot is comprised of 150 minutes each of Ha and OIII with 10 minutes each of RGB used in Lighten mode to bring out the stars.

Imaged through a Stellarvue SV115 f/7 APO with an SBIG ST-2000XM CCD, Astrodon Ha, OIII and RGB filters, on a Takahashi EM200 mount.

Thanks for looking and any feedback is welcome.

Philip,
This is a pretty nice looking image of M27.

I did visit the other link with the interesting presentation of the Ha and OIII. That's a pretty neat method of presentation.
