Roboscopes October-23 Imaging Competition - M27 Up Close & Personal

We have chosen Pier-9 with for this dataset as we wanted to get a fairly close in high resolution image of M27. We hope some of the outer shells showing well as there is more than enough data to achieve this.

We needed to use our good old 16" Dall Kirkham to get such a close up high resolution shot and we hope you enjoy processing it. Apologies the competition is a little late but our StarParty got in the way of normal proceedings in September :)

289x180s of HA
120x180s of OIII
177x 60s of Red
144x 60s of Green
120x 60s of Blue

The data will be available on the server HERE for all members to download later this evening and the competition winner will be chosen at the end of November.
