Last night I was able to get out to the telescope and while the atmospheric conditions were less than ideal I chose the Ring Nebula for a session. This image is compiled of 150 second subs with 2 hours and 22 minutes stacked. This is a small but bright target. My focal length does not bring up a lot of detail on this scale but it is such a dramatic jewel in this field of view.
This target is designated Messier 57 and is thought to be a white dwarf remnant of a star once similar to our Sun.
