Description

Quick go at M57 last night whilst trying out new CGEM mount.

Seeing was a bit misty but managed to get 20 reasonable 30s subs.

Unfortunately was just after sunset and clouds rolled in before it got anywhere near dark enough.

07.09.15

Had another go at processing this in PixInsight following various tutorials.

Result seems a bit clearer now and at far higher resolution (9000x6000) than original attempts.

Also when plate solved in PI was able to pick out few other galaxies and nebulae (albeit as feint smudges).
