A small ring

[shaunster]

So while I have been waiting for other targets to rise above the house I shot some OIII and Ha on the ring M57

Not intending anything great or anything reall deep, just thought it came out OK

It was mapped Ha, OIII, OIII and I have 10x5min in Ha and 15x5min in OIII

I like this a lot. Shows it in context and is very natural.

Very nice - if only my eyes were CCDs

Hi Shaunster - I agree - This is really nice and looks very natural... If you don't mind me asking, what scope / camera / exposures did you use?

[Nightfly]

Wonderful wider view of The Ring. Not often seen this way.

Thanks everyone

Taken with Atik 383l+ and zenithstar 70 + flattener

Baader 1.25" filters, 10x5min Ha, 15x5min OIII all mapped in R = Ha G= OIII B=OIII, processed using pixinsight

Guided with ST80 and QHY5 on HEQ5pro

Hope that helps Andy

I like the widefield setting as well, think M27 could be another good one for this sort of image

[Andrew*]

which flattener are you using for the ZS 70?
