Description

M 57..The Ring Nebula.....everyone knows this object. For me, this was the first deep space object I observed many years ago (20+) through the eyepiece on my first decent telescope. All imagers have captured this object at least once, but in my mind it is a starting place from which most of us evolve in this hobby.

This image is not one of my best, but I fought with poor skies and a full moon over several nights while trying to get enough sleep to work each day. I'm happy to show this image as one of the products from my newest imaging set ups.

This data is from four separate sessions using SGPro from May 23-June 1, 2018
