After doing a bit of work on my imaging setup I dashed off 16 one minute, unguided shots of M-57 to make sure I got everything back the way it's supposed to be. 10 were with the luminance (clear) filter. 2 each with the red, green and blue filters. After reducing all I combined them into individual color sets (1 clear, 1 red, 1 green and 1 blue). I then zipped the four images into a file called M-57.zip and posted it here for folks here to play with. http://users.wirelessbeehive.com/~paw/temp/M-57.zip (about 4 MB) I'll be interested to see what y'all come up with. My attempts resulted in the nebula looking pretty good but the stars all had a pink tint. Have fun, patrick
