NGC3132 Eight Burst Nebula

NGC 3132, also known as the Eight-Burst Nebula or the Southern Ring Nebula, is a bright planetary nebula in the constellation Vela. Its distance from Earth is estimated at about 2,000 light-years.

First time I've imaged this pretty little planetary nebula.
GSO 10" F4 Newtonian, full spectrum Canon1100D, Baader Semi-Apo filter + MPCC MKIII, 110x30 seconds at ISO1600, HEQ5 Pro unguided. Upsampled 2x.

Needs a bigger gun lol. I better stop chasing these tiny things or I'll get aperture fever again. Wait... why am I looking at longer FL scopes.... Halp!
