It is fun to try and get a better photo than last time but I also enjoy "discovering" other nearby objects that I hadn't previously been aware of, in this case a couple of galaxies in the same frame as the Ring Nebula. This is a cropped image. 14x2min subs ISO400 processed DSS, PixInsight 1.0, Canon DPP, PSP7 200P/EQ5/Canon 450D guided with QHY5/ST80 & PHD 13.0 2 sec exp 50% gain -
