Dumbbell Nebula
Still very new to imaging, but I'm pleased with how well this image turned out. The 120ST is quickly becoming my favorite imaging scope.I like it better than the smaller aperture scopes I've tried since it allows good results with relatively short exposures. As mentioned, new to imaging but I've been a visual astronomer for 40 years.
