Can't add much more than the lads have already said. Nice one Kieran.

Great image but What exposure times etc,

DB

Amazingly, very short exposures. Luminance 10 minutes total, RGB 5 minutes each.

Very nice shot Kieran - with the central star which is always a nice touch!

Clear skies,

Paul.

Great Image Kieran, I think you did a great job of teasing out the subtleties and structure in the ring.

Well done!

I love the detail visible in the ring, a stunning image.
did you use a field flattener / F6.3 focal reducer ?

Dave,

No focal reducer used. Scope was at F10. I did not have to do anything to the luminance image other than a slight unsharp mask. I think I must have actually got the focus almost bang on. Still have some elongated stars in it which was due to stacking. A sigma combine may have gotten slightly better results. Still amazed it required so little exposure though.
