NGC 6720 "Ring"

The Ring Nebula has a very nice set of data. It's very fun without a lot of odd things to deal with. I included the faint outer structures which resemble petals of a carnation but they are a bit underexposed and blurry. You can see them better here in an image which combines Hubble data with imagery taken from the ground.
