Description:

Here's a 40-second long image of M27 (NGC 6853), the Dumbbell or Apple Core Nebula in Vulpecula, that was captured remotely using the Bradford Robotic Telescope's 14" f/11 Celestron C14 SCT and FLI MicroLine camera located on Tenerife in the Canary Islands. A Celestron focal reducer yielding an effective focal length of 1877mm at f/5.3 was employed. North is up and east is to the left in the image.
