At Border Stargaze I stumbled across this one by accident surveying galaxies in Eridanus visually with my 22" dob. Sony NEX-5 replaced the eyepiece and after looking at the first image I thought my Paracorr fogged up but a quick computer search confirmed the ring was real. So I left the camera in for 30 minutes. A half of 30-second subs were okay (the other half had trailing from the Dobsonian mount errors) and the result is below.

It is way too noisy for any greater resolution but I thought it looked interesting. It fits the FoV nicely and I should add more subs later.

NGC1291: 32x30 seconds, ISO 6400, Sony NEX-5, 22" Dob.

Cheers,
Alex
