Description

I would like to dedicate this image to my amazing Mum, who is slowly dying in a hospice at this time. I am not sure how long she has, and even though we are all so stressed by everything at the moment, I know she is in God's hands... 


This image was a nightmare to process and if you asked me to repeat what I did to get this, I could not! Every pixelmaths option I tried to combine the Ha with the RGB was so difficult, and I ended up going with the best of the attempts in order to process this through. But, this is the best M57 I have ever taken, because I finally managed to get that outer shell - well at least a bit! I used 115 RGB subs at 10s each for the core, plus 95 RGB 120s subs, plus 92 subs in Ha, at 180s long each. This totals an imaging time of 8 hours, 5m and 10s. Thanks everyone...
