First M57 Ring Nebula (+Messier Gallery)

[laser_jock99]

A quick go at M57 (from the clear spell in March....remember that?). Stack of seven 30 second subs. Skywatcher Equinox 120ED at prime focus, Fuji S5 Pro Camera @ ISO800.

I've started Messier Gallery (something to do when it's cloudy)

I've imaged 20 objects so far, with the aim of completing the entire list. Some of my images are really bad and need re-shooting though!

I like.

Nice capture, and blooming hard being small! don't need to tell you that you captured the centre star well also.

March..pft, what those crisp fresh nights with great seeing, AND not much weather in between....heh, yes

What is the F ratio of a 120[?] if I can ask.

Cheers

F7.5 I think (900mm fl 120mm aperture).

My word! That's lovely

[Spikey]

Very good for the subs time and it is a tiny little thing to catch. That fuji looks really good & sensitive in the red.

Nice one, this is a tiny object to capture without a big telescope but one of the first dso I found when I started observing.

some nice images in there , well done! remember to keep all of them so you can see the progress you are making over time, its very satisfying.even if it is quite slow in my own case
