astro mick Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 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. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyline Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Hi Mick, The background looks a bit clipped. Nice capture though. What scope did you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul M Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astro mick Posted May 7, 2020 Author Share Posted May 7, 2020 (edited) 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.
