Description

This image of the 10,000 year old planetary nebula known as the Dumbbell Nebula (M27) was acquired using a duo-band filter and a one-shot color camera.  The dynamic range of this object is quite large and was compressed to be able to show both the bright core and the dimmer nebulous shell expanding outward.
