Notes: This photo of M57 is a single 60 second capture. The capture area is my light polluted driveway with a fully lit school across the street. The excellent contrast is from using the 180mm MCT. These scopes are known for their high contrast views. The sharpness of this photo clearly shows the central star. The G3 Mono is simply a wonderful CCD Camera. This camera will provide years of capturing the wonders of our night skies.
