The Ring Nebula (M57)
The Ring Nebula (also known as Messier M57) is a planetary nebula in the constellation of Lyra and is approximately 2,300 light years from earth. It was formed when a shell of ionized gas was expelled by a giant red star, during its dying transformation into a white dwarf. This image was captured using an astro-modded Canon EOS 100D attached to a Sky-Watcher Explorer 190MN Pro. It comprises 16 x 120s exposures, stacked and processed in Nebulosity 3 and Photoshop CS6.
