The Dumbbell Nebula
Stumbled upon this one night while looking for another nebula. Looked it up last night, and then went and shot some images. Very cool nebula. very likely the first Planetary Nebula ever discovered. The remnants of a supernova star.

Enjoy!

I'm not exactly sure how that diffraction pattern was formed. It was a total accident, but turned out neato. I think it has to do with the mount of the secondary mirror and the high overexposure.

Enjoy!
