M27 The Dumbbell Nebula with its faint outer wings!!

This is a dying star in the constellation Vulpecula, it is blowing off its outer atmosphere, and it is located about 900 light years away from Earth.

M27 is a wonderful object to view in any size telescope, as it is easily visible through the telescope from any dark location.

This was a shot I captured back in Sept. 2022, and I just got around to processing the data, my recent image shows the Dumbbell’s faint outer wings, sadly clouds rolled in to kill my imaging session, but was happy with what I did capture data wise from my backyard in Dayton.
