Excellent shot Chris!  Truly beautiful.  

Just checked out that region with MegaStar.  It did not answer
a question I have.  There are two stars, close together at about
2 O'Clock position from the Ring's central star.  The upper one
seems to show some nebulosity at its upper right edge.  Any ideas
what that is?  

Anyway, a truly super shot Chris.
