I took this photo last night/Wednesday morning. This is Messier 57, M57 or NGC6720. This is a compilation of 25 twenty second images stacked with Deep Sky Stacker then Processed with GIMP. I took this with my Canon T3 through my Meade LX90 8" SCT. Camera settings were as follows: ISO 1600, 20". The only kind of processing that I did was adjust Contrast, Brightness, RGB, and Value. I am very happy with this image will definitely be taking more to add to this for a more detailed photo.
   Messier 57 or The Ring Nebula is in the Constellation of Lyra. It was discovered in 1779 and catalogued the same year. It is 2,300 light years from Earth in miles that is 1,380,000,000,000,000,000. It has a radius of about 1.3 Light Years which is over 6 Trillion Miles.
