11.3 hours, That would have to be some kind of record for imaging, surely.
How many outer rings are there, It will be good to see what is being captured in 10 years from now.
Dietz, you have excelled again. Excellent.

Amazing Image Dietmar. The detail in the nebula is exquisite and so many background galaxies. A simply wonderful photo I could look at for ages.
Great Stuff.

Excellent Dietz, I don't think I've ever seen that much detail in the Ring nebula. The galaxy adds that special touch to the whole image.
A wonderful overall image.

Hey Diets,
already commented on the SX group but while I'm hear...
This is one of the best I've seen on this object.
I do remember Jon Talbot from the SX group doing heaps of hours in Ha with lrgb to bring out the outer shell to this extent.
But he didn't have a massive apo refractor. The res to the core, as well as the delicate structure of the outer shell wasn't as defined as yours.
All the best again

Stunning image Deitz. The detail is amazing. So much to take in with this image. The stunning nebula itself the outer shell regions and the added background galaxies makes it very special image.
