M27: The Dumbbell Nebula
The Dumbbell Nebula, also known as M27, is a planetary nebula in the constellation Vulpecula. It is the 27th object on Charles Messier's list. Its high surface brightness makes it a good target for small telescopes, despite the misleading term 'planetary nebula' for this class of objects.
