M57: Ring nebula

After summer and long bright-sky period the imaging season started again!!

This was my first test of automated imaging session. I started to study and test CCDCommander which can control other softwares used for imaging (mount, guiding, focuser, camera, filters..) Basically I can program the software to take care of whole session. But I have to say that the beginning wasn't so easy...


Total exposure of the Ring was only 2hrs and subexposures were only 1-2 min (LHaRGB).
