Description

This target was extremely difficult. It certainly stretched the limits of my imaging and processing skills as a beginner in astrophotography. Getting to combine Ha faint shells with the very bright M57 core was difficult to do without hurting other aspects of the image and being too intrusive. I cropped this image quite a bit as the field of view was very large on my 2600mm pro of a largely uninteresting field with a focal length of 910mm.

I think it will benefit from significantly more integration time on the Ha filter, but I won't be able to do that for a few weeks.
