Messier 57

Object Messier 57
Observed at Dunaharaszti, HU, 2025-08-20 00:45
NELM ~ 4.0
Aperture 127 mm
Magnification 171x
FOV 0.4 °

The Ring could be seen really well today. It was really hard to determine the orientation of its elliptic shape, just as if it were swapping directions based on my view.

This night was exceptionally clear, NELM was rather 4.7. I was experimenting with using black and blue pens for annotations and mixed up in the end.
