    [M27, K. Gloria]

    M27, also known as the Dumbell Nebula. Overall, the surface brightness of the extended ionized gas emission is one of the highest for any Planetary Nebula; therefore this object is easily seen through even small telescopes (including most finders).

    This is a color composite image made by Karen Gloria at Hopkins Observatory using a 6-inch refractor and a 512x512 element CCD detector. From Greg Bothun's collection at the University of Oregon.
