Description

For the present image of M57, the Dizzle 2x stacking technique has been used, this technique was developed by A. Fruchter and R. Hook, this technique is very useful to increase the resolution and details in the image, in this particular case the idea was to enlarge a very small part of the original frame, and thus get a close-up of M57 and be able to appreciate the details inside. M57 is a small planetary nebula, it is located in the constellation of Lira, M57 is illuminated by the star located in its center, it is a star that has consumed all the hydrogen in its core which has caused the core to contract and that its outer layers of gas expand and cool, you could say that, we are looking at a beautiful shroud of what was once a star more massive than the sun, the red outer part is the first layers of gas that it expelled the star, in order to capture its light, a Hydrogen Alpha filter has been used.

It has been acquired from the remote observatory Deep Sky West in Rowe New Mexico, where my dear friends and fellow fans Jim Y Linda Powell has hosted and pilot a great team.
Thank you very much, dear friends.
