This is 12x360" with the Atik 460EXC through the 203mm f/4.95 Synta-ONTC Newtonian. OK, another Ring Nebula---I will say this, though. While I was shooting, I was also observing the Ring with my 6" Spooner Parallax Newtonian. The Ring looked magnificent in the 6", though I could see no color. Here's a monochrome image that is deeper than I could see but in some ways similar. I used it as Lum for the image above. Stars are pretty deep here, down to around mag 18.

Nice "2nd light" Val, I never get tired of the Ring.
With IC 1296 nearby, this is a favorite of mine for cosmic scale comparison.

Thanks, Bill. Agreed on the comparison:
