Description

The Ring Nebula M57 - A Planetary Nebula in the constellation Lyra. Expanding ionised gas drifting through interstellar space as a result of the death of a red giant star, leaving a white dwarf behind.

Quick 1 hour live stack over the weekend whilst experimenting with thousands of very, very short 1 seconds exposures at maximum gain inside SharpCap 3.1 with an unfiltered Altair Astro Imaging & Visual Astronomy Hypercam 178M. Scope was a SW f1200 f/8 and processed very lightly in Pixinsight.
