star is visible within the “dough nut hole.” The answer is yes and no.
The magnitude of this star is roughly 15. This one is almost 4,000 times fainter than the faintest star that you could see with your eyes without any optical aid.
Don’t bother to look for the central star unless you have a telescope of at least 12-inch aperture. Even then, you will need an absolutely dark and clear, pristine night to get a chance at even a brief glimpse at it.
Well, enough details for now, just go out and find Messier 57, popularly called the Ring Nebula. It is a very interesting sight to see. For this object you will need a telescope unless you have a very large pair of astronomical binoculars.
I have spotted the ring through an 8 inch SchmidtCassegrain telescope. However, you do not have to have a scope that big to see the Ring Nebula. That was just the one that I looked through but the image was small. Some might not find it interesting, but for me it was a real gem to see.
There’s always something interesting to see in the night sky no matter whether you observe with binoculars, a telescope, or just your eyes. Go outside on a clear moonless night and enjoy the view. It gives people a chance to learn something about the sky, like myself.
Remember, astronomy can be fun!
