M57 Ring Nebula This picture was a real surprise, I thought I got the collimation about 90%, the focus spot on and the exposure about right, but when I processed the images I was really happy. It shows some really good detail in the ring as well as stars down to magnitude 18. Link-words: Messier Nebula
