M27 The Dumbbell Nebula

Settings were 2 mins exposure at 3200ISO using my 1300D DLSR  Canon camera. The camera was mounted on an 80ED APO Skywatcher refractor telescope with a field flattener and a 2 inch Optolong L-eNhance filter. The telescope was mounted on an EQ5 GOTO tracking mount. I used a Bahtinov mask for focusing on a bright star and an intervalometer to control the camera. The image is a stack of 50 images stacked in DSS and processed in Gimp 2.10 and Free Photo Noise Reduction.
