Clear skies last night
Dumbbell Nebula (M27) is a planetary nebula in the constellation Vulpecula 1360 ly away. Distinctive shape formed by the glowing gas and dust expelled by a dying star
Bright colors come from ionized hydrogen (red) and oxygen (blue-green)

C/2025 R2 (SWAN) is a long-period comet discovered on September 11, 2025, by the SWAN instrument on the SOHO spacecraft. Swan won't appear to humans again for 22,554 years
Not a great shot, clouds rolled in and the comet is quite distant at 41.3 million miles
