Ringnebula (M57)

[Advertise]

Finally I am up and running again after a dip in my motivation.

I bought a Skywatcher 150 (F5) and I ran into

a brick wall when it came to collimating.

But now I kinda got it working.

I do still have a few issues with the scope but for the moment I am happy atleast.

Any and all comments are very welcome.

So, on to the first real image with the new scope.

Ring Nebula.

Camera: Atik 314L+

Exposure:

      L:44x180s

      Only used Bias frames (I have not gotten to fixing a way to make flatframes yet)

Applicactions:

     Post-Process: PixInsight

Locaction: Malmoe, Sweden

Cheers
