I don't even know if I should post this because it really isn't that spectacular but it is kinda cool. I was looking in the "Ring Galaxies" catalogue on faintfuzzies.com and this was the first entry. The background on this catalogue is a guy who observes using a 48" (yes 48") telescope. I just wanted to see what my C11 could capture on these faint and small fuzzies. Size is listed as 1.4 x 0.8' at 13.6 mag. An internet search reveals (not surprisingly) that this is not imaged very often. So here it is. 11x15 min, binned 2x2, ST-8XME,AO-8, C11 at f/11.5, MI-250. Imaged over two nights because here in MN this winter has been terrible for clear skies. And when it is clear, there is a glow from all the lights reflecting off the snowpack. Uggh.
