Not sure why I motivated myself to shoot this, the thing is way too small, but here we go. I'm not too happy with the results. While I think I managed to get the core surprisingly sharp, the rest of the image just feels extremely noisy. The stuff is super faint and my skies are super cloudy, what can ya do lol. Maybe Ill get some RGB one day, we'll see. For now I'll leave it here.

Processing this was a pain in the ass btw.

First time I've ever seen that outer shell of m57, really cool

subtle parcel

weird how that shell is visible in so few images, could be because it's so small and faint
