I saw Vega north and behind Hercules so I tried to find the ring nubula (M57). This was my first shot at it, but the moon was so bright I couldn't see the parallelogram below Vega. Even looking thru the Binos I couldn't tell which ones might be Sulafat or Sheliak or a fuzzy thing in the area. I will have to give it another shot.
Remember that M-57 is a small object...even in the binos it will appear as a dim star.
I can't tell you how much fun was. To tell it, it seems like nothing but it was a blast.
Some of my best times under the stars have been alone. You can be alone with your thoughts and the universe, utterly at peace. Chuck __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable. Sign up now. http://mailplus.yahoo.com
