Description

The Ring Nebula is a planetary nebula in the northern constellation of Lyra. Such a nebula is formed when a star, during the last stages of its evolution before becoming a white dwarf, expels a vast luminous envelope of ionized gas into the surrounding interstellar space.

This was a tough one to process. Trying to show he outer ring while not bloating stars or just over stretching in general was a challenge. I probably should shoot some Ha data to bring it out. This is strictly RGB for now.
