M57 like you've never seen it before...

[Avdhoeven]

Yesterday NASA released an image of M57 showing marvellous detail. This image was based on HST data I already processed also about 6 months ago. NASA combined this data with Large Binocular Telescope data, while I combined it before with Subaru telescope data.

So I thought why not combine data from the three telescopes together. This resulted in an image of M57 like I have really never seen it before... I would say sit down, open the full resolution and be engulfed with the universe's splendour

Sorry ....... http://stargazerslounge.com/topic/186700-m57-from-the-big-boys-toy/ ......

Yes, but that only has data from the LBTO. The image I showed was with Subaru data added. Here is the comparison (there is really much info added if you look in the details, and also the center is totally different as I processed this myself )...

That really is stunning. Quite enjoyed galaxy spotting in the outer parts of the image as well!

That is really stunning! You will have to share your processing and combing wisdom with me sometime!
