Ross.

Wow, it must be very low for you. And to get so much detail for such a short exposure time.
Well done you.

Yes, the Ring is quite low and I only have probably an hour window to image it as it's either obstructed by my roof or by trees. Plus, light pollution is worse for me towards the North.
