Hi,

just to share my M57 taken last 13/14 and 15/16 of may at Open Observatory MPC J15 in portugal.
Just my forth light with the coke can as I call it (C9.25)!
Lot of stuff to be made yet but I will get it!

Here the details:

Excellent shot Paulo :thumbsup:

We don't see many images of the Ring down here as it doesn't get very high for us at mid Australian latitudes.

Great shot Paulo:):)

Even get to see the outer ring structure, which many don't capture:)

Great shot. :thumbsup: Love the colors and details. Amazing what that much less bit of atmosphere to go through does to a photo. It's night and day. :)

Impressive work for the c9.25. Well done Paulo.

Fantastic image, thanks for the view.

Nice Image - and takes me back to the night I tracked it down in my newly acquired C8 back in the early 90's back in Alba. A really exciting moment.
Thanks for the memories!

Not really sure why you need to upgrade - the detail is very impressive.

Thanks for the comments.

I hope to have all sorted out in a couple of months (I'm building a permanent observatory to my still virgin G11-Gemini). But the C9.25 was a good surprise for me :-).

I will post new pics as soon as I make them !

Cheers,

Very nice little nebula. very well processed. Maybe you could get a bit more colour in the stars just to add the final touch.

Well done.

Love the detail in the ring structure and in the galaxy nearby. Star colour could be improved.
