Description

After M53 went behind some trees, I still had clear skies and some time so turned the scope to M57.

2 min exposure might have been too long as I think the ring looks a little blown out, but still fun to see this guy in late March.

Was actually very surprised to get IC1296 in the shot considering I only had an hour on the target and am in some pretty bad Bortle 7 skies.
