I like to pick big and bright objects to image, partly due to short focal length of my scope. But Lyra was so tempting that Saturday night, and since I got no more planned targets, I tried to snap just one frame of the Ring Nebula to see how small it is on my 558mm FL scope. Sure enough it was so tiny. I decided not to shoot additional frames as I though it was just a waste of time. Now I realized that I wasted my time NOT shooting it. How ironic! This is just one 3-minute frame of the famous Ring.
