№ 9 / Nov. 4, 2016 / Home / 1928-1946 JST / Cold breeze; canceled because of clouds / 15x70

A brief session, cut short because of the clouds that came in from the west, and covered everything. I had hoped to locate M56 and M57. I stared at Lyra for 5 minutes, but could not detect anything. Deneb's disappearing behind the clouds was the last thing I saw.

CONSTELLATIONS:      Cas / Lyr / Sge

Kemble 1 (AS/Cam)       Good until the clouds came

M2 (GC/Aqr)                  Seen before the clouds arrived; it looked good; the shopping cart was distinct
