caught the Ring (Blue Mountains)

Just for fun, I shot the Ring Nebula (Messier 57 or M57) with the 40D attached to the Celestron 14. Surprised myself.

Very little processing at this stage.

Canon 40D, Celestron 14 SCT, f/11, Paramount ME (Go To), 60 seconds, 1000 ISO, RAW, daylight white balance, manually focused, intervalometer triggered, no guiding. North is bottom-right; east is top-right.

Update: had a go at post processing...
