M57 is GREAT in my XT10 at 416X, even with the not-to-good stock 9mm eyepiece and a camera 3X teleconverter. What's really fun is PGC62532/IC1296, a couple of galaxies right on top of each other (mag. 14.8) right next to M57. I think I finally saw it last night (9-8-02) with averted vision while tapping the tube (139X).
