Description

I was looking for targets that wouldn't be washed out by the Moon, and the AA+ suggested the Ring Nebula in the area of the sky I was searching. I've seen pictures, of course, but a single 10" preview made my jaw drop. A 23' livestack pulled up lots of nice details. I wasn't sure the FRA500 would have enough reach for planetaries, but I am quite happy with this one.
