Description

This image is a total re-process of my M57 data from June. This version has much lower saturation in the colors, and better detail in the brighter part of the ring.

I have used H-alpha as luminance for most of the image, except for the galaxy IC 1296, which was blended in from RGB data. The central star of M57 and its foreground companion essentially disappear in H-alpha, so they are not visible in this version.

Total integration: 17.2 hours

H-alpha: 11.5 hours, combination of 600 s and 1200 s subs

RGB: 5.7 hours, 480 s and 600 s subs
