Often you will see this in significant more muted colors, but I took this one in narrowband SHO. Taken from the backyard last summer using a Celestron C8 on an Advanced VX mount via ASI AIR+. I love the internal detail this image captured. It is a planetary nebula, which means this is a shell of stellar material shed from the central dying star.

I was trying to match the color palette of this beautiful image I saw from the Very Large Telescope project: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dumbbell_Nebula#/media/File:M27_-_Dumbbell_Nebula.jpg
