Description

Wanted to repeat this with a CMOS camera and compared with the prior CCD version... taken with 3 times the amount of exposure.

Something going on a around the diamond.  Normally I do not get any spikes.

Prior 10h CCD version:

Abell 33 the Diamond Ring


Abell 33 is a planetary nebula located 2700 light years away in the constellation of Hydra. It lies just behind the star HD 83535. The star HD 83535 is also responsible for the "diamond ring" effect seen in the photograph.
