M57 The ring in H-Alpha Close-up

Hi All,

Another test shot from 6/23/09

M57 The Ring Planetary Nebula in H-Alpha close-up, I captured this dying star from my backyard in the city of Dayton. 25 minutes with QHY8 CCD and 10" lx200 sct,
you can definitely see the detailed structure within the ring.

Captured and Processed in Nebulosity, Maxim DL, and Final resize and illustrated in Adobe.

Best Regards,
