M57 Ring Nebula

Finally got the Sky-Watcher telescope aligned correctly. Here's 1st photo of M57.


The famously named "Ring Nebula" is located in the northern constellation of Lyra, and also catalogued as Messier 57, M57 or NGC 6720. It is one of the most prominent examples of the deep-sky objects called planetary nebulae (singular, planetary nebula), often abbreviated by astronomers as simply planetaries or PN.
