M 27

Time for the first image taken from the new house. Luckily all my equipment is still in working condition even though it hasn't been used in around 9 months. The target this time was M 27 also known as the Dumbbell Nebula. This is a fairly bright planetary nebula located about 1360 light years away in the constellation Vulpecula.
