Description

The Dumbbell Nebula was my EAA assignment for our astro society's public-outreach program. That night got weathered out, but I started accumulating more data after I'd done some test exposures on the object. I wasn't able to get as much detail in the wings as I'd hoped, even with about 16 hours' data, but at least they're visible with only minor Photoshop criming.

The star color is from about a half-hours' worth of RGB from our society's Bortle 5 site,  the bulk of the integration was narrowband from my Bortle 7 back yard.
