M27 The Dumbbell nebula

My image of M27 the Dumbbell Nebula taken with my 1300D DSLR Canon camera mounted on my 80ED APO Refractor telescope with a field flattener. The telescope was mounted on my EQ5 GOTO Mount. Settings were 50s exposure and 800 ISO. I Captured 200 images, 25 flat frames and 25 dark frames. All stacked in Sequator and processed in GraXpert and Star Net ++ and finished off in Gimp 2.10. I used an intervalometer to control the camera and a Bahtinov mask to focus on a bright star. The image was taken under Bortle 5 skies in Loughor.
