This was a first observation with my new celestron 8" Next Star . Useing a 40mm Plossl aprox 50x .It showed no color of course but the ring was perfectly circular with occasional tiny hole in the center.Solid looking and no problemswith turbulence much. Useing barlow image was just about as sharp and well defined occasionally the center star would make a quick and distinct flash.The optics in this scope were somewhat better than I had anticipated.
