Description

One cloudy or dewy night after another finally drove me to go pull some Hubble Space Telescope data. Starting with a crowd favorite, M57, I found frames shot with filters at 487, 502 (gave them blue), 547 (gave it green), 656, and 658nm (red). All used the Wide Field Camera 3, the latest, best and last on board. Had to brush out a nasty noise band across the middle, separately bring the stars back from being green, and then layer on different stretches to bring out those outer halos. But otherwise this data speaks for itself and is worth zooming in on the full file. Cheers!
