Description

Yesterday I photographed Lyra and I recognized that the quite popular ring nebula is extremely small. My gear can barely see it in detail, but in 2015 I tested my 1300mm Mak on it. So just now I reprocessed the old images and built this collage to visualize the sizes of objects we all regularly work with!
