24th August 2025 – The Dumbbell Nebula

, ,

I managed to gather data for 4 nights of Messer 27 using my Oiii & Ha narrowband filters in addition to shooting flat frames, dark frames and bias frames.

The data was stacked and processed in MaximDL, GraXpert and Photoshop to enhance the captured data. The additional captured data has allowed me to really pull the wider dim areas of Oxygen & Hydrogen gas.
