Dumbell Nebula

Cykon told us this about the image:

This is by far my best astropicture until now and it proves that you don't need to spend multiple thousands to get a pic like that. I have a beginner setup and no guiding or anything and am able to get a pic like that and that really surprised me. I was planning on photographing the dumbbell Nebula for a while now and finally got to do it this week and I'm very happy with the result. This was taken with just 30 second exposures and about 1.5 hours all in all. I find planetary Nebulae very fascinating, the colours,  how they form and the fact that our own sun will start forming one in 5 billion years, I find that so cool! If you're a beginner, let this be a motivation, stay atrophotographing!
