Hey all!
I've been shooting M27 over the last 5 nights and have about 6 hours of data. However I am struggling to pull out the fainter nebula. I am not sure whether it's my processing skills or if I need more data. (Or even my scopes limit perhaps). It would be nice to see what others can get out of the data.

Focal length 242mm
Pixel Size 2.4
2x drizzle

Evoguide 50ED & Altair 178c

240 second subs.

Thanks for processing. I really wanted to see some of that faint nebula but I think I'm being optimistic with my setup capabilities. Nice clean process here though!

Got some nice details here, thanks for processing. Stars look a little cooked and the blacks may be clipped a bit.

I don't know if you like more or less visible stars so I made 2 versions.

Added anouther 1 hour of data last night & spent this evening messing around with the data. I am satisfied where I am at currently at with it. Going to push forward and get some more data on it. Hopefully I can get that faint nebula!
