The Ring Nebula! ((:

[N3ptune]

Hello again!

My motivation is strong these days, I went out on a week day and caught the beautiful Ring Nebula, I think it's my favourite nebula so far, it has a nice shape. (:

So these are the images I saw into my 203mm x 1000mm newton tube using a OIII filter, the great Ring Nebula, planetary nebula! I hope you will like it.

Your post is a fantastic boost to the start of this observing / imaging season - and the sketches are superb!

I've often lingered on this object as even in a modest scope it can look extremely eerie.

I only wish I had the talent to capture them in a sketch like you have - really well done!

Wow, your sketches are better than my best photos! Well done!

[Richard Hather]

Lovely sketch N3ptune, I love how you've captured how the gases seem to be slightly more prominent at one side of the nebula.

I also found this to be the case I also like how you sketched it at 2 mags really good job again ?

Clear skies ✨????

That is a very good sketch, nice to see you've caught the inner structure which is not easy.

Very nice sketches. The Ring was probably my first proper DSO observed a long time ago, still and old favourite. You've captured it well, not easy.

Nice sketches, well done! Always love a look at the 'Ring' on most nights when it is in views easily.

When I read the title of  your post I was at first filled with pity for you........ :-) LOL

 

Sadly, my sometimes infantile humour made me think of something similar, like 'ouch!'

Sorry

Nice sketches, though, I like the idea of that but just cant get around to it.

M57 is fantastic to observe as are your sketches

Thank you

Lol

Ok I changed the topic now

Hopefully the situation is corrected and I don' have anything odd or crazy anymore related to the ring, lol. (Maybe it's something else but I guess not )

Lovely sketches, glad you had good views. I got my first views of the ring a little while ago and it is lovely.

Very nice sketch. Captures the nebula as it appears through the eye piece so well.

Great sketches! Had a great view of the Ring the other night - stunning object

[Stargzalex]

Wow.. my first object too... seen so many times... Love these sketches!

@Stargzalex

Yeah the Ring is a nice object, always a pleasure to look at it.

Great sketch  some imagers my be thinking about this image and wonder why you see so much detail ,am sure if they to spent a good hour looking at any dso they would see the same but most dont because they have a ccd doing that ,sletches give a more at the eye piece view  and is more realistic of what you will see as a three hour image with a ccd gives a more technical view that we will never see 

great image keep sketching
