Description

A Bicolour Narrowband image of Messier 57, the Ring Nebula. Two ten minute exposures, one through a Hydrogen Alpha filter, and one through an Oxygen III filter were combined for this image of one of my favourite planetary nebulas. I love the ring as it was on the cover of a little Collins Gem field guide to astronomy that I used as a kid, and it was the first deep sky object I ever took a picture of waaaaay back in 2014!
