You definitely caught it, this is what you would see through a widefield eyepiece. Colour would certainly add to it but great start. JohnH.

You've done very well for a first time effort. No mistaking that smoke

Ring. Try more subs and longer exposures if you can guide the scope. It will dramatically improve the Nebula.

However, this is a nice start.

Nice start...

It's in the frame... it's in focus and you have kept it there whilst you took a number of subs... you polar alignment must be pretty good as well ... so all "positives"

Onwards and upwards...
