5" newtonian
no moon
partly cloudy
The ring nebula is an easy object to find placed right in the middle of two bright stars, beta and gamma lyrae.This is one of the DSO's that the OIII filter works great on, it darkens the background and lets the nebula shine brightly. At 150X I could see the donut shape so well there was a 3-D effect. Very cool
