Hello,
I have no new data so i reprocessed m57 to try to pull out some of the outer shell.
After a very long round of processing heres my result.
This is only 1 hour of 3 minute subs.
Comments Welcome

Sal, that's a great image. Rarely do I see so much nebulosity out around the ring. Nice one!

I didnt think you could pull that kind of detail from 3 min subs , you have some processing skills for sure.
Well done Sal.

Thanks Psyire. I really had to dig deep to get this to come out. lots of noise reduction and layer masks, but i was able to get a little bit of detail.

Well done Sal.
Thanks Erik! I didnt think the outer shell could be pulled out of 3 minute subs either. or in 1 hour of data. when streched extremely hard, The outer shell was there but it was almost pure noise. I pulled it out by gaussian blurring, noise reduction and layer masks.

Amazing. I can't figure out how you guys get so much detail out of the small targets. Great work.
