finding the ring nebula

I looked for the Ring between Sheliak and Sulafat and I believe that I
located it. It seems to be closer to Sheliak. However, I am wondering
whether I am confusing it with a star.
When I first located it, it seemed to moving-or I should say that was
a sense of motion to it- unlike the stars around it. But my eyepiece
was slightly out of focus, which could have created the "motion"
effect.
I put in a higher magnification eyepiece, and I could see two black
circles within it- one near to the edge and another dead center.With
my 10 magnification eyepiece, it seemed to drift quickly to the edge
of the eyepiece
When I looked at Vega slightly out of focus, I also got the two circle
effect, so I am wondering if I was looking at the Ring.
Comments?
Thanks.
Bruce
