Comments
This is a small object for this telescope and needed many hours to bring out details
M57 is a planetary nebula formed by the ionized gas expelled from the central star which went from red giant to white dwarf.
For the keen observer, IC1296, a 15.5 magnitude galaxy shows up faintly at 2' of M57.
Processed with PixInsight, still a learning process.
