Dumbbell Planetary Nebula (Messier 27)

Often you will see this in significant more muted colors, but I took this one in narrowband SHO. Taken from the backyard last summer using a Celestron C8 on an Advanced VX mount via ASI AIR+. I love the internal detail this image captured. It is a planetary nebula, which means this is a shell of stellar material shed from the central dying star.
