20251203 M27

The forecast is bad, but I still pulled out the S30 again.  

Zero setup time virtually.  I have a rain sensor outside, so tearing down is quick and simple as well.

The best telescope is the one that you can use most, the S30 is definitely a winner.

Planetary Nebula should be good target, as long as star clusters.

AI really saves a lot of time on planning, I set M27 the Dumbbell Nebula as the target.

With only a few minutes of stacking, colors are shown.  Below is around 1 hour of exposure:

Some more targets for this season: M57 the Ring Nebula, NGC 7293 the Helix Nebula, NGC 6543 The Cat's Eye Nebula.  

Let me try them out one by one.
