I decided to reprocess the Dumbbell Nebula, and it seems to have turned out better.
M27 Dumbbell
Photo description / processing
I shot this after the moon had set, so I was able to give each sub a slightly longer exposure. In the future, I plan to reshoot and try to get 3 hours total — maybe then I'll be able to bring out the "crown" of the Dumbbell.
