Actually took this sequence quite some time back, but have only just gotten around to processing it.

C9.25 @ F10, Canon 350D mod, about 3 hours of pics

Thanks for looking

Beautiful as always TJ - you've really got a gift for this game mate - well done.

I just love the filaments that you've brought out with that - if I didn't know your setup, I woulda sworn you'd used narrowband filters for that!

Cheers,

Richie

That's a great image TJ, one of the best M57's I've seen I reckon.

Wow loads of detail, colour really stands out.

I love it.

[barkis]

That's a smashing Ring Neb. TJ. An early Xmas prezzzie for us all heh?

You've certainly tamed your imaging now mate. It's like you have been at it for years instead of months.

A rip snorter indeed.

Great shot TJ, looks like a lit gas hob from the top.

Hi Rob.

Its a combination of all the F10 images I have taken since I started autoguiding earlier in the year. I usually take a couple of M57 to check for focus (and because I like it) and I clubbed them all together for this pic. The bummer is that very few of the shots were taken with M57 at zenith, except for a few at Kelling.

Even at F10 the ring makes a very small disc on the dslr chip, so I have cropped and enlarged it. TBH I wouldnt have thought of this if it hadn't been for the advice of Craig Stark (PHD) who implied that imaging at F10 with C9.25 and DSLR is a waste of time, and better to image at F6.3 and enlarge. Nice to see what the 12bit Canons can do though.

Dave, last time I looked at a lit gas ring from the top, I lost my eyebrows, so i'll take your word for it

TJ

Er........it's what a close friend said a gas ring looked like from the top.............
