This is Messier 27 or NGC6853 or commonly referred to as The Dumbbell Nebula. This photo was taken with my T3 and Meade 8" telescope. Settings were at ISO1600 a total of 8, 30" images. The photos were stacked using Deep Sky Stacker and processed using GIMP. Processing is my weak point but will get better with time like anything else.
   The Dumbbell Nebula is a Planetary Nebula that is around 1360 Light Years Away. This was the first "Planetary Nebula" Discovered, in 1764 by Charles Messier. The reason for the name Planetary Nebula, is in those days when vied through a telescope it was thought that they resembeled the Gas Giants of our Solar System.
