M57

[OXO]

With the cloudy nights of the last week or so putting an end to imaging i thought i would reprocess an older M57 image and i am quite happy with the result's.

Not in the same universe as some of the DSO images on here but still it's prob one of my best M57 attempts.

That is indeed an excellent image, James. The different brightnesses in the nebula show through clearly - and you've managed to capture that non-central star beautifully. Top marks!

Thanks Andy :)

If i remember rightly it was a stack of 8 images at 12 seconds each done with a 8" reflector f/5 at prime focus.

Looking at the image scale that must have been with the SC1, right?

Thats a cracker, one question though where's the colour?

The non central star is much clearer than mine.

Well done matey.

Hi Ant,

It was done with a Meade DSI i had for a few weeks matey, i used B/W mode in an attempt to make the camera even more sensitive.

Thanks
