Description

After my mount is back from repair, i wanted a soft restart and aimed at two easy targets: M 27 and M 57, two objects i know very well. I have imaged both very often. Compared to all my other images of M 27, this time i stretched a lot harder to bring out the fainter outer parts, but sadly this destroyed most information (especially the knots) in the central part. I tried to preserve the knots with a hard HDR Multiscale Transform and it helped a bit, but my other images are somewhat nicer. But i also like this one because of the fainter parts.

[Edit 2020-09-17] Uploaded Version B, which was less stretched and edited smoother, to show more details in the center. I also applied a bit more color saturation.
