Description

If the "Ring nebula" is discovered by a modern astrophotographer, I believe it should be named "The blooming flower nebula" instead of merely "The Ring" nebula which sounds mediocre.
Easily reached even in heavily light polluted sites even without any filter, M57/core is quite bright. But with the right equipment, sufficient exposure time, and an adequate dark site, the outer shell now shows with lots and lots of unseen details.
