Description

This version of the iconic ring nebula contains 30m narrowband data taken through my L-eNhance filter, added to LRGB data from my previous image. DDP followed by selective processing, resulted in a much better HOO colour scheme - a teal OIII core within an HII envelope, energised by the supernova explosion and continued rapid expansion. Final sky darkening and tidying up noise and other artefacts provide a more aesthetic and detailed image, IMHO.
