This M27 was done last night with an AP 130 @ F/4.5, SXV H9 and SBIG STV for guiding. 2 hours of exposures (60 min luminance, 20 min each R, G, & B, 5 min subs). I also used an IDAS LPS filter as I was imaging from my light polluted SF Bay Area location. No flats, bias or dark frames. The displayed image is 150% actual size. FWHM accoring to Maxim was 1.7 - 1.8. Acquisition and stacking with MaximDL, Photoshop for post processing.
