    Beautiful New Astrophoto – The Ring Nebula!

    With my recent and rare night out in my observatory, I decided to spend some time shooting some old favorites that I knew are easy to get so I could get as many photos as possible since I don’t get out in the observatory much these days.  Hopefully things will get better soon as far…
