M27 is found in Vulpecula and is one of the best telescopic sights of summer. I have "discovered" it many times: most notably in 11x80 binoculars from the desert east of Reno and with an 80mm refractor in Bear Lake, Idaho. Here is what it looks like with a color camera from my backyard in The Woodlands, TX, with narrowband data added. I gathered 9x720" in H-alpha and 8x720" in OIII with the SXVF-H9 and combined this with 25x360" taken with the SXVF-H9C. Of course, this is the big scope, the CFF 290mm Classical Cassegrain, at an effective focal length of about f/8. The filters are Astronomik. Guiding was done with an SX-OAG on a Takahashi NJP.
