HICKSON 50

Here’s a real challenge that I captured 2 nights ago – a ring of tiny galaxies from Mag 18.7 to 20. Apparently this is 1.8 ‘’billion’’ light years away – wow!

Great image David.

I must give it a go with my ED80 :-).

Thanks Michael,

The hardest challenge is finding it - lucking just a few hops from the Owl Nebula.
