Paul M Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 (edited) It is a nice galaxy but when I last imaged M57 it looked more Ring Nebulaish...😄 I'm now going to have to ID your wee beasty to find out more about it! Edit: I'm embarrassed for not even recognising M82 🤪 Edited July 31, 2022 by Paul M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craney Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 M57 has a familiar ring to it..... and a useful target for fine tuning satellite orbital dynamics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vlaiv Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 That above is clearly M57. It just depends what catalog one is using. Maybe in Messier catalog it is labeled as M82, but in "Mess with people's heads on your favorite astronomy forum website" catalog it is clearly labeled as M57 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul M Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 I just plate solved that image. Definitely M57. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
