M57
Stan Moore captured this high resolution image of M57 through an RCOS 12.5" F/9
Ritchey-Chretien scope using an ST-10E camera equipped with the AO-7 adaptive
optics device and a CFW8A Color Filter Wheel.  The LRGB ratios are 60:30:30:30
minutes.  The raw FWHM of stars in the L layer is 1.4 arcseconds.  Note the small pair
of stars near the top of this frame.  This is the first time we have ever seen this pair
fully resolved in a long exposure, color image from an amateur.
