M27 the Dumbell Nebula

4 hrs 20 minutes exposure, Bortle 7 sky, WO RedCat 250/51mm, L-Ultimate dual NB filter, ASI533 MC camera, ASIAIR Plus controller, SW AZ-EQ5 mount.

52 5' exposures processed in PixInsight, drizzle stacked then SPCC, RC-Astro Noise/Blur/StarXTerminator plugins, HDRMS, LHE and PS final exp and crop.

In April, I added a telescope pad and removed a tree in the back garden. Delayed by clouds, rain, and a trip to Mexico, last night's image of M27 was my first from the new setup. The level pad with alignment marks will make setting up for astrophotography faster and easier.
