Description

M27, the Dumbell Nebula in Vulpecula. Imaged over the nights of July 23,24,25,26, 2008, from Redlands, Ca. TOA130 with reducer and ST2000xm camera with Astrodon filters. Guided with an AstroTech 66 semi-apo. The mount was my NJP Temma 2. This image was processed using a color palette used by the European Southern Observatory. This is an (Ha)HaOIIISII image with 90 minutes of unbinned Ha, 40 minutes of binned OIII, and 60 minutes of binned SII. Ha was mapped to red, OIII mapped to green and SII mapped to blue. The Ha data was also used as a luminance layer.
