This is a picture I took of planetary nebula M27, the Dumbell Nebula, a few hours after the night-time launch of Discovery. The cloulds blew away after the launch to provide me with a very clear sky. I really enjoy the color and symmetry of planetaries. The image is a stack of fourteen 2-minute subs for a total exposure of 28 minutes. It was taken with an unmodified Canon 40D DSLR through a Televue NP101is refractor. Guiding was done with a Starlight Xpress M8C through an ETX90.
