Hi -- This past Friday night was the first really clear night in several months
here in the light polluted skys of S.E. PA.

M57 looked pretty good, and I was able to get 3 L frames at 600 seconds, 3 R
& G frames at 600 seconds each, and 3 B frames at 900 seconds each.This
with a 12" LX200, ST7-E and AO7. I noticed that one of the L frames was off
set from the others by enough to perhaps contain IC 1296 (as Chris Shur had
done recently). After some DDP and stretching in Maxim, it popped out rather
useable, and I then "layered it into the final image in PS.

And oh yes -- CCDOPS(DOS) used for all image acquisition.

Stan -- this is a far cry from your recent beautiful M57, but I'm happy with
it<g>!!
