Ring Nebula 250px 1000d

[tooth_dr]

Taken on Sunday night, about 3 hours of 300s subs at ISO1600, darks and flats. 250px with modded 1000d, CLS filter, guided on EQ6 with ED80 and B&W Toucam.

I'm experimenting with the processing, so I may gather a bit more data and try again. I think I've over exposed the ring a bit, didn't think that was possible lol, but it's sort picked op a bit of red nebulosity around the ring if you look carefully.

Thanks for looking

Full frame (love the coma)

Good Stuff Adam.. The outer fainter ring is starting to show up nicely...

Looks good Adam, fairly glowing

Cheers guys, M13 from last night, and lots more data of NGC 4565 still to process. Weather has been kind.

That's great....picking up that outer ring is hard

As you say, the inner ring is a bit overblown.

Is it like this in the original version, before you did any stretching?

If not, do a reprocess concentrating on the ring, and then drop it into this one.

Cheers

Nice outter ring detail and very nice star colour.

Thanks guys, I'm really enjoying the new 1000d. The ring is over exposed in the stacked version.

I'm up for gathering more M57 data tonight. What would you suggest to get the ring looking nice. Maybe 150s?

Fantastic image Adam, you have captured a great level of detail and structure in the nebula combined with a lovely rich starfield. Well done.

wow, the 1000D must be really sensitive to Ha. That faint outer region really takes some capturing, and only starts to show any structure on my CCD camera and Ha filter with exposures of 1 hour. Maybe a higher bandpass filter would help me out!

As you can see, some parts of the ring positively glow in Ha, and are very bright. Dont lose that outer region, but with some shorter subs, maybe 45 or 60 seconds, you should be able to get some structure within the ring that way, but I would stack them seperately and then layer in the detailed bit. Fiddly, but worth it.

Great shot, I really like this.

The cropped pic. certainly Highlights the Rings outer regions, and great it is.

I really do like the large picture of the whole surroundings .

1296 is still very visible, and the star population is beautiful, and the colours splendid. The not too overbright diffraction spikes just tops this splendid sight off.

Gorgeous sight Adam.

Very good composed Ring Nebula, have to agree with the others about the fainter outer region of the Nebula.

Very nicely done, the ring looks great in a beautiful rich field of stars.

Superb... wonderful effort... stunning wide field and full of interest..

Thanks so much guys, gonna try to get some shorter exposures tonight, and do some fiddly layering lol.

I appreciate the comments.

Good luck with the shorts. You often need to do that, I reckon. It's already great anyway.

Thanks, the weather has been kind to me, and another all - clear nighter..
