M57 first attempt

[damp owl]

My first attempt on M57 and only second imaging session. M57 was the first ever DSO that I saw through a scope and I couldn't wait until I could image it.

Any advice on how to bring out the red nebulosity at the outside of the ring in GIMP would be greatly received. I have tried fiddling with red channel but end up with red sky, which just looks worse.
