M57, the Ring Nebulae

 

 

Another shot of M57, this time with Kodak Royal 1000 negative film.

The yellow color on the inside of the nebulae is much better visable than in my E200 shot.

Due to poor alignement the stars are not round, a problem I am always facing with the standard wedge

witch is way too small for my 10" SCT, but the Superwedge is on it's way so I hope to get some improovement soon.
