 Const.: Perseus
Camera: HX916 Scope: C8 Mount: AP1200GTO
Filter(s): L:R:G:B Exposure: 32x2m:16x2m:16x2m:16x2m Binned 2x2
M76, the Little Dumbell planetary nebula in Perseus. This color image uses the greyscale image below as the luminance channel. Each of the color channels consists of 16 two minute exposures binned 2x2. The color channels were balanced using AIP4WIN's automatic G2V calibration tools. This image has been resampled down from its original size of 1221 x 967.

M76, the Little Dumbell planetary nebula in Perseus. This image is a stack of 32 two minute exposures using an 8" f/10 SCT. The individual exposures were calibrated, defect corrected and stacked, and then 20 iterations of Richardson-Lucy deconvolution were then performed. All processing was performed using AIP4WIN.
