Widefield Ring: 'Cos I ain't got no Hubble!

[Sp@ce_d]

First time on this one and I knew it would be small, but this is still a wide-field having been cropped.. so still saving for the Hubble...

My second of 3 Planetary Nebulas I've been chasing this weekend... M27 The Ring Nebula.

Using the ED80 with the 314L+

5 x 600s each of RGB

The surface brightness of this seems quite high. I kept blowing the core right from the start of stretching so a bit of compromise trying to retain the colour. I'd love to be able to get in close on this... ah well... maybe one day.

As usual, any helpful critique always welcome.. thanks for looking

Nice wide-field, it's M57 I guess.

Thanks for the comments... I guess I won't be revisiting this one until I have a bit more FL at my disposal though..

Nice capture!
