Nice view, love the foreground

A bit hard to spot the Ring Nebula on my screen.

Thanks Jakob

M57 is really only a couple of pixels across. I was surprised how good it looked being so low and not having big aperture on hand.

Cheers

Such beautiful scenery!
Wonderful.

Thanks Andrew, it is a good spot, and the scenery is a huge bonus. Especially when the Sun rises over it after a long night's observing.
