Description

A quick shot (for me) of the Ring Nebula from the light polluted back yard. The ring is an easy target because it's so bright, and a difficult target, because it's so bright!

Processing was very quick and simple, but I was able to run 150 iterations of deconvolution on it. When you have very little else in the background to worry about, you can really crank that process up. Also, running an HDR process on it is helpful as the ring just inside the red is almost saturated white normally.
