Ring Nebula

[split_city]

First attempt at the Ring Nebula. This is quite hard to image for me as it only gets about 15-20 degrees above the northern horizon (I'm in Southern Hemisphere). Light pollution is worse for me in this direction.

Unguided, with an unmodded dslr and a small target low in the horizon.... rather you than me! Nice picture though ;-)

Thanks. It's not something I will be going back to image anytime soon.
