Description

This is M57, imaged across several nights. I only have an hour per night where it's visible between trees. Subexposure length is 1s, 5s and 10s. 5s and live-stacking in SharpCap for 120s meta-subs seems to be the sweet spot.

Edited in PixInsight with LRGB approach. Seperated L and RGB after stacking, cropping and background extraction. HDRMT on PixInsight can reveal some nice fine structure in the ring.


I hope you enjoy it.
