M27

Hi all,

Here is my first try at M27. It was bigger and fainter than I expected. I did 20 exposures of 60 seconds each and it still wasn't very bright. Shot with the Orion Starshoot camera on the Mewlon 250 at F/7.2.

Very good first try Paul,my first suggestion would be to have a look at your color balance.

Paul,
Tracking looks pretty good and you got pretty good depth on the image.

I agree with Louie - take a look at the color balance - I would have expected more red in the dumbbell.
