Default M 27 and NSV 24959
Hi folks,

this image was taken exactly one year after my last try of M 27. The variable star NSV 24959 is obviously in its minimum.

Please see the images here:

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hi Stefan, great image there! So, this is what our Sun has to look forward to? Very interesting. Your work is top-notch. (I wanted to say "stellar," but that sounded cheesy.)

BTW, I agree with those who think it looks more like an eaten apple-core than a dumbell.

Hi folks,

thanks for those nice comments!

You're right, the apple-core structure is much more prominent, however, am I correct that the "little dumbbell" M 76 is sometimes called "apple core" nebula? At least, in German it has a - barely used - name that goes in this direction.

Stefan

In my web surfing, I don't see that people refer to M76, The Little Dumbbell, as the "apple core nebula." They mention on the AOP page for M27 that it looks like an apple-core from a small telescope, but they don't mention that here: http://www.noao.edu/outreach/aop/observers/m76.html

Actually, M76 just looks like the apple-stems are more eaten. But SEDS also says:

Quote:
M76 is among the fainter Messier objects. It is known under the names Little Dumbbell Nebula (the most common), Cork Nebula, Butterfly Nebula, and Barbell Nebula, and...
http://www.seds.org/messier/m/m076.html
I also notice (and I did this above-oops) that a lot of sites spell it "dumbell," but it is "dumbbell." One guy called it "The Little Dimbell" since it's farther away and dimmer. That makes more sense since it's not smaller. Names are fun, but M76 can be agreed upon. :-)
