Description

My first ry at Alt/Az imaging. It's amazing how much is visible with such short exposure times. Limiting magnitude for this quick integration is fainter than 16 mag. Pretty sweet.

I often visited the Ring Nebula visually, it's one of the nicest things to see in ther summer sky - together with the Albireo double.

Not sure if this is EAA or not. I used SharpCap to live-stack 5s exposures into 120s subs. I then integrated those in APP, did some processing in PixInsight and Affinity Photo.
