Ruby Ring

<

A small (6′) semicircle made up of five stars of 10th and 11th magnitude, with an additional orangish star of 7.1 mag (SAO 85678) resembling a ruby. It is located approximately two degrees west of the beautiful double star 100 Her.

VIC: As if there weren't enough imperfect rings already. This one is also very faint, and the color is not discernible even in larger binoculars.
