About this image

M 57
The Ring Nebula in Lyra.
An unusually bright and conventional target for me (something to keep me occupied when the moon is up!).
I chose not to overstretch the outer halo as I wanted to maintain some dynamic range.
Image captured on my remote dual rig at Fregenal de la Sierra in Spain between 27 July - 4 August 2021.
