Description

Steven Mazlin graciously shared this M57 data which he obtained from a dark location in NM. It has almost 30 hours of integration time. The data set is fabulous, but M57 has a very bright core and it was tough to strike a balance in order to reveal the core details while preserving the envelope signal and the color richness. I think I made about 30 different masks through the entire processing but the effort was totally worth it.
