Ring Nebula Photo

Ring Nebula - Taken on 09-08-2012 with Doug Elick.


This is a pic of the Ring Nebula (M57) taken at Hueston Woods in Ohio.  It was taken using my friends DSLR camera.













It was color enhanced just a bit in Photoshop.  I think we got lucky with the tracking because the scope was never polar aligned properly.  We basically just pointed the north leg on the tripod north and leveled the mount.  The tracking held up nicely for upto about 15 secs or so.
