NGC 6565

NGC 6565 looks to me like a miniature Ring Nebula. I'm rather fond of these nebulas with rather rainbow-like gradients from blue in the center to red at the perimeter.

 

I made an effort to reduce the size of the stars which would otherwise be bright green due to the green channel being f555w.

North is NOT up, it's 45° clockwise from up
