M27 - Noao-m27-kpno-mayall-4-m (north up)
This image was obtained with the wide-field view of the Mosaic camera on the Mayall 4-meter telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory. M27, also known as the 'Dumbbell Nebula', is a famous planetary nebula. The central portion of the nebula is quite bright, however it also has a faint outer halo that is clearly visible in this deep image. The image was generated with observations in the Oxygen [OIII] (blue), Hydrogen-Alpha (red) and Sulphur [SII] (green) filters. In this image, North is left, East is down.

HantelnebelDer Hantelnebel ist ein rund 1300 Lichtjahre entfernter, 7,5 mag heller planetarischer Nebel im Sternbild Fuchs. Der Nebel ist vor ungefähr 10.000 Jahren aus der von einem Roten Riesenstern in seiner Endphase abgestoßenen Hülle entstanden und dehnt sich mit einer Geschwindigkeit von circa 30 km/s aus. Der Kern des Riesensterns ist dabei als über 100.000 Kelvin heißer Weißer Zwerg von 14 mag Helligkeit im Zentrum des Nebels verblieben. .. weiterlesen
