The nebula consists of a gigantic cloud of hydrogen gas with a diameter of
hundreds of light years.
Constellation Lyra: The Ring Nebula (M 57)

Right Ascension: 18 53 (hours : minutes)
Declination: +33° 02' (Degrees : minutes)
Distance: 2,412 light years from Earth
The famous Ring Nebula (M57) in the Lyra constellation is often viewed as
the prototype of a planetary nebula. It is one of the magnificent features of
the Northern Hemisphere's summer sky. Recent studies have shown that it
is probably comprised of a ring (torus) of brightly shining material that sur-
rounds the central star (only visible with larger telescopes), and not a gas
structure in the form of a sphere or an ellipse. If you were to look at the
Ring Nebula from the side, it would look like the Dumbbell Nebula (M 27).
When viewed from Earth, we are looking directly at the pole of the nebula.
Constellation Vulpecula (Little Fox):
The Dumbbell Nebula (M 27)
Right Ascension: 19 h 59 m (hours : minutes)
Declination: +22° 43' (Degrees : minutes)
Distance: 1,360 light years from Earth
The Dumbbell Nebula (M 27) was the first planetary nebula ever discov-
ered. On 12 July 1764, Charles Messier discovered this new and fascinat-
ing class of objects. We see this object almost directly from its equatorial
plane. If we could see the Dumbbell Nebula from one of its poles, we
would probably see the shape of a ring, something very similar to what we
know as the Ring Nebula (M 57). In reasonably good weather, we can see
this object well, even with low magnification.
Notes on cleaning
Before cleaning the device, disconnect it from the power supply by removing
the plug or batteries.
Clean the eyepieces and lenses only with a soft, lint-free cloth, like a micro-
fibre cloth. Do not apply excess pressure to the cloth to avoid scratching
the lenses.

transportation packaging. The batteries should be removed from the unit if it
has not been used for a long time.
