Little Dumbell in Perseus

Post by Conn Buckley » Mon Feb 25, 2008 9:25 pm

I have only seen this object once before and while I was on a roll last evening I tried to image this. Like the double cluster, the Little Dumbell lies in the direction of Limerick City from my perspective and the sky is quite bright. Anyway, for what its worth, here's what I got.

Not a bad start at all there Conn.
Looks like there is a slight tracking error, still thats a good visual representation of the nebula.

Carrying around my 20" obsession is going to kill me, but what a way to go. :)

Thats an impressive start!
Yeah the tracking is a little off but the dumbel shape is all there.
Way to go Conn.
It's always nice to see a result like that of your own doing.
