Summer Kickoff - III

Continued..

M28-M22-NGC6638: This triplet reminds me of M4-M80-ngc triplet near antares.

M11 wild duck cluster: Can indeed feel the wild duck flock in V shape flying in the sky.

M30 - quick browsing of m30. Tried it only thru 71x.. seems tinier at that magnification. can feel the H shape star alignment. didn't try high mags.

Andromeda triplet - Andromeda rising on NE. ~15-20deg above horizon. m31 big and bright @70x.. fills the eyepiece. M32 tiny still bright. m110 is very faint, bigger than m32.

Jupiter - Rising in the easter sky. <10deg from horizon.. fluctuating image. 4 moons on one side clearly visible.

Double cluster thru APO: Tried Jon's SWA 24mm in the APO. double cluster rising up. very low in magnification. can see difference in double cluster.

Returned back ~2:45pm..
