M57: First bit of Ha for 15-16 season

[Uranium235]

I've been Ha starved for the past couple of months, so the return of M57 made for a nice change in being able to image without gradients..... ahhhhh thats better

Yep its a tiny thing, it looks lost in the comparitively massive FOV of the 383 so I cropped it a fair bit. The data was also pretty clean, so it was able to take an upscale of 30% without any noticeable issues. Shame I had work the next day becuase it was a cracking sky, and as I was packing away I could see Cygnus poking its head above the houses..... very tempting.

8x180 (Ha)

no calibration (naughty!)

No plans for OIII yet, but I did shoot a binned test sub of  600s to see if I could start picking up the outer shell - and got a very slight whiff of it. Needs longer subs (1200s), and probably four hours worth to get anything useable.
