Messier 27, the Dumbbell Nebula in Vulpecula, a popular deep-sky object and one of the finest examples of a planetary nebula in the sky, a nebula blown off in shells by the solar winds and eruptive events at the end of the life of a Sun-like star. This is a stack of 9 x 6-minute exposures with the Sky-Watcher Quattro 8-inch astrographic Newtonian reflector, at f/4 with the coma corrector. The camera was the filter-modified Canon 5D MkII at ISO 800. Shot from home, Oct 12-13, 2015.
