Look up to the sky...
There it is, the M57, aka the Ring Nebula. A planetary nebula about 2,000 light-years away, quietly glowing in the constellation Lyra.
After a couple of nights out with the telescope, battling focus, clouds, and expectations, this photo is far from perfect — but it's real. A tiny ring of gas, the remains of a dying star, floating in the void.

Still... “The Ring – One Nebula to rule them all!”

Look up to the sky...
Throwback to the winter sky, and see, glimmering, the heart of the Rosette Nebula (NGC 2244). A stellar nursery where young, massive stars shape their surroundings. UV light and stellar winds carve patterns in gas and dust, clearing space while sparking new stars in denser regions. A reminder of the universe’s endless cycle of creation and transformation.
