I captured the " Ring nebula" last night

Weather has not been good to me this Summer so far " can I get an attaboy for at least capturing m57" unguided and I didn't have my cooler plugged in . At least I figured out and gathered some 16 bit FITS data with the asi 174MM.

I can see it Ronnie.
My suggestion would be longer exposures.
I play with time to intensify the objects lighting.
As Matthew put it, I stack with light.
I hope you can get some clear skies to work under.

Sonny your a card , this is a snapshot I haven't touched the Fits data yet. Too tired my eyes won't even focus today. I'm going to try and give plate solving a go tonight but, it'll be late , I tried to guide last night but, it wouldn't stop looping after west step2 frustrating so I just ran unguided, uncooled and let the mount run for S&G.

Well shame on you for selling half-baked bread!
Last night I couldn't seem to get my WiFi to work right. In fact, I need to put the telescope out and see what is going on.
It got sluggish time and time again. I did several restarts, two full alignments, and finally gave up. Today I'm wondering if my Wifi antenna at the mount might have a problem.
Argh!

Sonny, things didn't go good at all last night humidity is up from here on out and I just couldn't get anything to go right ,. Finally I caved . I guess halfbaked would be raw, wouldn't it ?

Or medium rare?
You did well catching the ring and the size is good.
I have been holding off commenting hoping you had a chance to process your files.
It looks like your getting the hang of this and you're doing better and better.
Keep after it.

Thanks, It's extremely hard to get that fine focus then tighten her down especially when your camera weighs almost a pound , I'm using my chin ,nose , chest etc. to hold the camera until I get a lock hole drilled in my focus tube, I know it won't hold when I get the efw. I posted my 16bit fits converted to jpeg which doesn't do it any justice yall. I get it going 50% of the time when I go for it , I just wish I could get everything going just once .
