you wonder why the M57 title .... the reason goes back about 25 years ago when my father gave me 11enne still my first telescope, a Newtonian SkyMaster 114/900. Imagine the thrill for a kid to get their hands on something "serious" for the period up until then looked at the sky with a small 8x30 binoculars. Very slowly began to become familiar, but then there was no Internet, no other amateur astronomers knew, I was just a kid and I had to do everything myself. Any small problems now solved with a couple of mouse clik, it was for me great and laborious "research studies", which always alone, I tried to put out. I started to buy some magazines (still costudisco it jealously some old copies of the time ...), "Astronomy", a beautiful magazine (now a bit less ...) but for those who like me was the very first weapon was perhaps a bit too technical .... Moral of the story: try, try again and again and then, perhaps, understand!
was the summer of 1983 in Sabaudia when I put the first station in the telescope (in a very very rough), I took an old issue of "Astronomy" and looked at maps of the summer sky: the "summer triangle "Vega, the pound .... M57. The magazine talked about it very well, easy location, very nice, easily traceable. Let's try. I made a couple of calculations on circles but in the end I went to "eye". I bet Vega, then I went from star to star, and eventually (after a good 10 minutes of research and with the eye accustomed to darkness) has appeared batuffoletto a very small but quite bright .... was she, M57, my first deep-sky objects observed visually!
