MightyMethodz Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Hey Everyone! I'm from Western Colorado and just started observing using an 8" Skyline Reflector with Dobsonian mount. Last night was my first night using it and was able to find the Ring Nebula! Really Faint and small with my setup but one day I'll have the equipment necessary to make it shine! Any tips will be welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightspore Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Welcome to the Yard. I saw the M57 (Ring Nebula) a couple of nights ago with my Altair 60mm EDF. An OIII filter can help or try using averted vision (not looking at it directly). M27 is also in the Summer Triangle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyMethodz Posted June 24, 2022 Author Share Posted June 24, 2022 If things clear up tonight, I'll give m27 a shot. Look like rain all week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look like rain all week Might be better weather for me today (Saturday). I'm in the West Midlands (Worcestershire). The Summer Triangle is full of interesting objects, double stars, open clusters, nebulae etc. There are a lot of objects to the south west of it as well. Including the Wild Duck cluster, Tweedledee & Tweedledum clusters, and the Summer Beehive. Might be worth downloading Stellarium or SkyPortal if you already haven't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
