The Ring Nebula (Messier 57)
The Ring Nebula is a planetary nebula in the constellation Lyra. It is a remnant of dying star system that is/has become a white dwarf. It is roughly 2600 light years from us and is a valuable example of what will be a similar fate for our solar system in about another 5-ish billion years.

This project was done over a single night in October 2019 and was one of my first ever astrophotography targets. It is made of 1 hr of collected data using my Canon T7i along with the SVBONY Ultra High Contract (UCH) clip in filter.
