Ring Nebula and friends

Hello to everyone,

This is my first post even though signed up for a little while. Last night I had my first view of M57 The Ring Nebula. Beautiful, through the 10mm and with averted vision clearly saw the central hole. Followed this with the Helix NGC7293 (a bit faint but nice) and The Sculptor Galaxy NGC253, quite clear and a wonderful sight through the 25mm. I think there was even signs of the dust lanes. After all these wonderfuls I could not resist a final look at 47 Tuc before retirering to a hot mug of tea.
Well thats it for now. I shall make sure a few more posts come from over here to hold up our side of the country.

Wade
