Description

Going after another small object (1.0 x 0.7 arcmin) which is generally seen imaged by larger scopes but quite happy with the way the ES ED102 and ASI294MC Pro are performing.

NGC 3132, also known as the Eight-Burst Nebula, the Southern Ring Nebula, is a bright and extensively studied planetary nebula in the constellation Vela. Its distance from Earth is estimated at about 613 pc. or 2,000 light-years
