Description

М 57 envelope

M57 halo ("envelope") is considered to be outer layers of the host star blown away by stellar wind during asymptotic giant branch phase just before nebula itself was born.

----

The nebula image is Ha-OIII-OIII composition (200% crop of central part). Stars were overlaid from RGB image.

Due to high dynamic range, some processing tweaks were used. First, two separate integrations per filter were made: best of the best based on FWHM criteria for the brightest nebula part and a full set of images for maximizing SNR in shadows. Than stretch of various degree was applied. And they all were combined later into artificial HDR.

[1] Nebula 3D model image was taken from "Studies of NGC 6720 with Calibrated HST WFC3 Emission-Line Filter Images–I: Structure and Evolution", C. R. O’Dell, G. J. Ferland, W. J. Henney and M. Peimbert, 2013
