Re: M27
This is really superb work, astrnmr. My first attempt at M27 was feeble in comparison but I am working on it.
Comparing your photo to mine, I get a different sense of depth. Do you know of anyone who has advanced the art of combining astrophotos with distance information in order to give a holographic-like experience?

Re: M27
Thanks for that, astrnmr. I remember seeing Blender offered for download on my Linux laptop, but I never took advantage of it.
