Fried eggs anyone?

[steppenwolf]

Although I have only captured half the Ha data that I want as a minimum for this image of M57, I can never resist a quick stack and stretch to see what I've got, especially as I am after some outer halo nebulosity on this one! I normally show the results to my wife, Janie, who is very supportive of my hobbies (heck, she bought me an Esprit 150!) although normally, a mono image elicits a 'can't wait to see it in colour' comment 🙁. This morning, however, she stated that this looked like a 'fried egg' so I made a small adjustment just for her:-

Can I have two please ? 😁 (what an idea... I love it !)

The outer halo is very clear so this is promising.

Thank you, Ragnar, yes, the data has some promise but I currently only have 8 hours (16 x 1800 sec) and I really want to at least double that before I move on to the OIII.

Surely with the outer nebulosity looking like uncooked albumen, this should be called Frying Egg?

In fairness, you do make a good point 🤣

I look forward to seeing your efforts on the Fried Slice Nebula (NGC 7000) and NGC 3628, perhaps with a dash of Messier 37.

A dash of M37 eh? I'll see what I can cook up .......

I would go for this target, myself. But unfortunately we have "sunny side up" until end of August here in Scandinavia.

I think Edwina Currie would have something to say about eggs all over the sky?🤣
