Well here is my first usable shot of m27 aka the Dumbbell nebula. The Dumbbell is a remnant of a sun like star that in its death throes shed its outer surface and sent it flying out into space leaving behind a beautiful display of color and structure. M27 is thought to be the first planetary nebula discovered. This jewel in the scope for a change actually looks like its nickname. It is quite bright and can even be viewed telescopically from a light polluted area. Until next time --Clear Skies
