"It is one of my favorite objects and being able to photograph it today with these details compared to the very low level of difficulty in the field and to integration.. I dunno... I really want to be able to explain it to you!
I mounted a very sensitive astronomical camera like the ASI 294, the new Optolong L-eNhance filter on which I risk unbalancing myself in the judgments but ... How cool!
And that's it, I started shooting without autoguide, with simple 60-second shots for a total of 180 minutes. The level of difficulty is slightly higher than what I would have had after the first weeks of purchasing my first telescope and the sky here measures an SQM of about 19.69 at the zenith.
This image was always made with the Sharpstar 107 made available by Artesky and set up with their reducer / flattener.
The photograph you see is cropped only in this "Facebook" version, to give more space to the Handlebar nebula.
Planetary nebulae are the objects that fascinated me most in astronomy and in general the whole stellar cycle.
The Dumbbell (M27) is located in the constellation of the Vulpecula at about 1360 light years from our planet.“
