M57 - Ringed the ring nebula tonight

Tonight we observed M57, better know as the ring nebula. It was a clear night but the sky was not calm. We found it by first fixing the finderscope on Vega, high over head. We observed M57 from the comforts of our light-polluted back yard. We star hopped to down to Sheliak (Beta Lyr) on the eastern edge of Lyra. From there it was a few degrees south, half way between Sheliak and Sulafat (Gamma Lyr). We have viewed this Messier object from the roof of the physics building in their 12" Cassegrain telescopes. This was the first time we decided to go for it with our 6" dob.
