M 57 - Ring Nebula [new attempt]

I had been planning to re-photograph the planetary nebula M 57 for a long time - my first attempts at lucky imaging were back in 2021 - but there was always something more interesting

and the Ring couldn't make it to the top of the list. Returning to this object was a matter of chance and is largely thanks to my friend Piotr (I was working at his observatory), for which I am very grateful. It turned out that in my absent-mindedness, I forgot the coma corrector, and returning home just for that one part was not an option. However, following Piotr's suggestion, the camera with a small field of view could compensate for the absence of this element, and I should try with what was on hand. I ended up using the Player One Mars-C camera (sensor IMX 462), as its larger counterpart, Uranus-C, was working diligently in the 14" Dobsonian, capturing the ISS

.

The excellent conditions that night allowed me to capture over 23,000 frames quite decently. A few days later, I added some hydrogen data, and the result of combining these two materials is presented below.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
