Tiny Ring nebula at this focal length, but lovely crisp star field and great focus/colour too

Thanks, I realise that at this focal length its more of a nebulette than a nebula, but I thought I'd give it a go. It was good seeing that night, which I think helped a lot with the focus.

Still very cool seeing it there like a tiny smoke ring

cloud cloud go away come again another day

Very nice, reminds me to the view through a telescope.
