Here is my attempt to capture M57. I was able to get some marginal data in spite of a nearly full moon. LRGB image taken with a total of 40 X 6 min subs (4 hrs). Combined & cleaned up in CCDStack with final adjustments in Photoshop. Telescope controlled remotely with TheSkyX and the camera equipment with CCDSoft. The bright Moon complicated the processing and I lost some details in the PLN. It least the rain has stopped for now.
Telescope: 14" Meade LX200ACF
Mount: Celestron CGE-Pro GEM
Camera: SBIG STL-11000M
Guider: SBIG RGH Off Axis with AO-L
