M57 + surrounds

I captured M57 last night. I wanted to get the envelope in "true color" and was surprised to see it come out mostly in Oiii. I hadn't seen this in any images before.

I used Ha to enhance the Luminance, but not the color at all, so the color is straight from the RGB.

Taken with my DSO 10" f/5 Newt and SXV-H9.

Nice image Rick.

That's outstanding, Rick! You have raised the bar for the likes of me who have yet to have even one decent image of the Ring - with or without the halo!

Great image Rick! 8)

Wow Rick! You are setting that bar pretty high these days. This is a lovely image of the Ring. I like the little spiral galaxy at the top as well.

Fantastic image Rick.

There are several galaxies in the background as well which look great.

Great depth of image. It seems to me a lot of the objects we image are a lot larger than commonly shown.

That's an excellent image, Rick, deep and detailed.
