Description

With the #Moon near-full, I decided to image the very bright Ring Nebula (also known as #Messier 57) before it sets for the season.

Even though I've photographed the #nebula often, this is the first time I've used the #Celestron 9.25" #telescope and new #QHY268 camera. The colour gradation in the oxygen from blue to green is visible, and the red and oranges of ionized hydrogen outline the entire object well.
