Description

September offered several clear nights and I dedicated them to capturing the little dumbbell nebula - a fascinating target.

I love the colors that the nebula exhibits in narrowband and its shape and cloud formations. Its size on the night sky is 2.7x1.8 archmin. The sources that I read all state that this is the faintest Messier object. I think it turned out nicely in my image.

CS,
Ivan
