M57 The Ring Nebula - HaRGB
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. The image comprises 10 x 300s RGB exposures and 3 x 1800s Ha added as luminosity, captured using a QHY8L and Tele Vue 2x Powermate attached to a Sky-Watcher Explorer 190MN Pro.
