Not too bad, but i need to work on focus
   
Central star is clearly visable
       

   
A quick attempt at the ring nebula with my 200mm reflector.
   
Close up view
       
       

 


27.10.05 - The Ring nebula is getting lower in the sky now but here is another image.
In this shot i think i have just managed to capture the 14 mag central star.

 


 
I like the scale to this image as it shows how small the ring is.
This is a close up of the Ring Nebula and i'm pretty sure i have managed to capture the central star. The image shows star drift but not too bad for my first try.
