My first Ring Nebula

[Vega]

Was graced by gorgeous skies on Saturday night. My scope was positioned right next to the house at the time so that I could have a sneak at Jupiter low in the South. As I could'nt be bothered to lift my kit back to my normal viewing position, I had no view of polaris and a scope polar aligned by a compass only! Hence a single 60 sec shot with some star trailing

I can't wait to have a go proper.

Size isn't always important!!

That's a very nice 'wide-field' view, with 'the ring' as the centre feature.

Nice imgage, well composed and captured.

Love to see M57 in a widefield

looking real nice in the wider FOV, and a very natural feel to it, which is always a good thing IMO.
