Dumbbell Nebula (M27) is a beautiful planetary nebula located in our galaxy. You can observing it at warm, but very short summer nights. When you’ll look at eyepiece, you’ll see the big nebula and a hundreds of stars, because this nebula is cut by one of our galaxy’s arm.
I have thaught it would be useful for ASOD members to have a sketch of this very little nebula, hidden in the light of Merope. It is very difficult to see, unless the seeing is very good, and it was the case.

This is a sketch showing the central part of the Orion Nebula, seen in a 120 mm refractor at 200x. The sky conditions were not ideal for observing the whole extent of the nebula, but the brighter Trapezium area showed several details at this magnification.
Clear skies,
