M 27 The Dumbell Nebula

An old favourite was captured a few nights ago. I was testing the focus setup on maxim using the v curve to autofocus. It took about 10 minutes and settles on a focus mark. I ran the same set up to capture Stephans quintet too. I was more than pleased with the result. 2 minute exposures taken here at Iso 1600. a massive crop here shows the pin point stars.
