M57 from August 2018

TEC140 with reducer and Atik 460.

60 mins each of RGB+Ha and 120 mins of Luminance.

To be honest, I'm not 100% happy with this and there is more that could be done with this data that I cannot seem to get out.  For instance I have a prominent outer shell surrounding the nebula but I cannot get this out without blowing out the general background.   You can kind of see it but it should be more prominent than this image shows.

That’s a nice image, I can see the outer halo, and I love the classic barred spiral galaxy (IC 1296?) you have captured immediately below it.
