Description

This is a re-do of my "first" M57 which had total integration of 1 hour, 3 minutes.  Not bad for a first picture.

This picture has 5.2 hours integration with a wider field of view.  The stars are smaller, but still not great.  I tried to show the spiral galaxy in the lower right.  Hopefully with longer exposures I'll be about to pull out more detail.

I'll eventually retake it using my 16" scope (instead of the 11" I took this image with), a mono camera, and a better mount, which should allow more details.
