Re: Ring Nebula - I found it!

Congratulations Rick!

The Ring Nebula was the first deep sky object I found with my own equipment back in 1986. I was amazed (and still am) by the way it just kind of hangs there in space. I looked at it for a long time that night as I kept expecting a puff of wind to come along and blow it away. Of course I knew that it was impossible but I still find myself going back to observe the Ring often just to make sure.

Clear Skies,
Bob
