OK, here's the third and final couple of pics, the target was M27 (aka The Dumbbell Nebula, NGC6853), a planetary nebula in the constellation of Vulpecula. Again, you get one version with the diffraction spikes and another without. Click 'em for more bigness:

 As previous but with added spikes.


That's yer lot.
