Superb detail. I wonder what that galaxy in the upper right corner is, I've never seen it before.

Very nice image Efrain. It is nice how there is texture in the Nebula, particularly visible in the cropped shot.

Thanks Diets, I brought out the colors so that different sections could be easily seperated. And thanks Andy, yes by doing this croping it shows lots of inner ring details for such a small planetary where from the original it woudn't have been noticed. Thanks again to all and Clear Skies

Thanks Torsten, Sorry for my late response didn't catch it almost at the end of the page. It could be improve by upgrading equipment but applying Calibration,Firmness, and Stuborness creates good results and experience.
Clear Skies my Friend.
