Nope those are from my home Frank ...The night before i was viewing at a Mag 7+ site and the difference was amazing.M13 was so bright it looked 3d and M27 had a definate blue-green pastel like color. Unfortunatly i didnt have time to sketch I was to busy observing and doing a little outreach also. -------------------- -Sal Meade 16" Lightbridge Williams Optics Zenithstar 80 Televue Nagler T4 My Sketch Gallery Post Extras:       CarlosEH Post Laureate Reged: 01/19/05 Posts: 3105 Loc: Pembroke Pines, Broward County... Re: Summer Dso's [Re: SGT500]       #1668079 - 06/17/07 07:49 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Sal, Great observations of the famous Dumbbell Nebula (M27) and Ring Nebula (M57). You have rendered the Dumbbell Nebula perfectly with it's projections (lobes). This is my impression of this planetary through a large aperture such as you own. The Ring Nebula looks very nicely rendered as well. I look forward to your future observation through the Lightbridge.

They must be an amazing sight through your 16" Dob, at least one gets the impression from the way you rendered them!
