Planetary Nebula M27 and M57

Both planetary nebula M27 (Dumbbell Nebula) as the Ring Nebula (M57) are photographed using Nikon D7500 with TAL200K f/8.5. Darks are taken and raw pictures converted to DNG. Stacking with DeepSkyStacker and final editing using CS4.

Bubble Nebula NGC7635

Astropictures of the Bubble Nebula NGC7635 both with TLAPO80/480 f/6 as TAL200K f/8.5. The Bubble Nebula is located in the constellation Cassiopeia and located at a distance of 7500ly from Earth.

In both cases darks were taken, and raw files converted to DNG. DeepSkyStacker is used for stacking and CS4 for final editing.

Dumbbell Nebula M27

First usage of darks and the object I used to get an idea is the Dumbbell Nebula Messier M27. A total of 7 darks and M27 was 7 minutes exposed. The pictures were taken with Nikon D7500 on TAL200K. Stacking in DNGformat using  DeepSkyStacker and final editing in photoshop CS4.

Compare the pictures between TAL200K above and TLAOP80/480 f/6 below.
