I took a few shots of The Ring a couple of days ago. SXV-H9 on an AP-130F/6. Autoguided with a STV on an FS-60C. 20 luminance shots each 2 minutes long and 5 shots with each filter also 2 minutes long. M57 is a little small in this scope, but you got to use what you have.

Beautiful colours and contrast. Nice star colours. A winner.

Beautiful Ralph! I like the wider shots.... it makes it look like it is floating out there, which it is! smile

Beautiful. I also like the wide field view. Yet you still have plenty of detail on the Ring.
