Planetary Nebula in Perseus

| This image of the Little Dumbbell Nebula was captured by Mike Lancaster on the 29th August 2024. The image comprises 100 x 30 second exposures taken using an Altair Hypercam 26C at 300 gain (plus darks, flats and flat darks), through an Orion Optics UK AG12 Astrograph mounted on an EQ8 mount. A 0.95x Wynne Corrector and Astronomik CLS-CCD filter were also employed. Due to the short exposures no guiding was employed. Images were acquired using SharpCap, and the processing was entirely performed in PixInsight. Image Credit: Mike Lancaster. |

The data for this image of the Little Dumbbell Nebula was collected on numerous nights during November 2006 by Adrian Brown. He used a Skywatcher 80ED refractor at f7.5, an ATIK ATK16HR camera, Astronomik LRGB and CLS filters, and a Celestron CGE mount. The total exposure times were Luminance 80 minutes, Red 30 minutes, Green 30 minutes, and Blue 30 minutes. 5 minute sub exposure times were used throughout and the colour filtered exposures were taken with the camera binned 2x2.
