M27 - The Dumbbell Nebula
Last Friday evening was an unbelievable evening for July in Maryland. The temperature was in the low 60's, dew point way low, no wind, clear skies. Yeah, a bit of turbulence in the atmosphere which would have made planetary imaging a bit difficult, but the clarity of the sky was awesome. About the only problem was the waxing moon - but once it set, everything was a go.
So here is the result. The Dumbbell nebula in all its glory.
