Dumbbell Nebula M 27 NGC 6853 PK060-03.1

Description

First light for half of my new equipment - NYX 101 on a iOptron tri-pier - the Newtonian besides having added an OAG is still the same. I am still working out kinks on this setup but was able to capture a decent image of the Dumbbell Nebula. Relative little time invested and I might add some Sii date to process a classic SHO later on.
