Description

Not a great image, but I think an interesting experiment.  M57 last night from light polluted London with the relatively cheap ASI462MC.  I thought I would experiment and try this small pixel scale planetary camera which gives a larger scaled image than my 294MC Pro.  The ASI462MC is uncooled and not really recommended for DSOs. Also, this was completely unguided, so I used very short 15 second exposures, and stacked 200 images.  With darks, it still took under an hour to capture this with my Edge HD8 on an AVX mount.
