M57 The Ring Nebula

[Brian28]

Very reasonable conditions here in sunny Essex over the last few days .. and scope set up in the garden .. 

after gathering enough data for M97  I decided to have a go at the ring nebula. 

3hours 30 mins integration time .

12 x 300 Lum 

12 x300 OIII

14 x 300 Ha

3 x 300 SII ( for what it was worth ?) 

Processed in APP then PS ..  and I did add some star spikes for some sparkle ..

Nice, you've picked up the central star too, looks like a psychedelic cosmic donut ?

Reworked the processing , and I think this looks much better ..
