M57

[astro mick]

Hi.

Looking around the other night for something to turn my scope to, because the Moon was quite bright.I noticed Vega rising in the East so thought I,d do a quicky on M57.

Usual scope and camera set up.

LRGB image with about an hour per filter in 600 secs.Away from the Moon helped.

I think the central star is just peeking through.

I know its small scale,but that's my scope set up really.

Cheers.

Mick.

Hi Mick,

The background looks a bit clipped.

Nice capture though.

What scope did you use?

[Paul M]

That's nice. I don't know why M57 isn't more popular with imagers. Small size or just not exciting enough?

You've done it justice anyway!

Nice one Mick, I can't see any clipping but wondering if there might be a slight red cast? Anyway, it's a cool PN either way.

Thanks guys appreciate the comments.

Hi Nadeem,i used two scopes.ED 80 F7.5 and WO 73.Its not showing clipped when I check the histogram.

I think you have hit the nail on the head Paul.

Hi Lockie,yes I think your right it is showing a slight red cast.

Thanks all.

Mick.

Oh thanks to the likes as well.
