Dumbbell Nebula M27 imaged with a Celestron 8 inch SCT at 1140 mm focal length, OIII and H-alpha dual band filter, and an ASI 533MC astronomy camera. I used a restored Vixen Great Polaris mount and an off-axis guider with ASI 174MM guide camera. To find M27, use the bright stars of Aquila and Cygnus as pointer stars. This target is bright, easy to find, and should be visible even with small telescopes.
