Default Dumbbell Nebula

Decided to get my scope running again for the first time in a while. Thankfully my mount just needed a little adjusting and I don't have to send it back to Meade.

It's a little grainy, but it's now my best astrophoto so far. It would be a bit better, but I got tired of taking subs.
