revisited NGC 7027 (Halifax)

In July 2016 (5 and 17) I collected data on planetary nebula NGC 7027 with the help of the Burke-Gaffney Observatory. I returned to this target to retrieve more data, this time with the SBIG camera. I also wanted ionised oxygen information.

For all images. FITS Liberator, GIMP. North is up; east is left.

This thing is small but bright!
