Description

I was curious how will the relatively short focal length of WO Gran Turismo 81 (with reducer/flattener gets down to 380mm) capture the relatively tiny object like M57. Was pleasantly surprised, as it is small but clearly and nicely visible. The picture is indicating the scale, since both 𝛄 and β Lyr fit to the frame. Also, the nearby IC 1296 galaxy is identifiable, though obviously i will need to collect more data
