Hercules
M13 ***** Quite open globular cluster, can make out individual stars around the edge and center, looks to be thousands of stars and seems very dense almost nebulous at the center. Best in 15mm EP and 2x Barlow
M92 **** Dense globular cluster, can distinguish individual stars around the edge, nice in the 8mm EP and barlow
Lyra
Epsilon Lyrae **** - double double Nice to view and easy to distinguish the binary stars
M57 ***** Ring Nebula. Easy to locate and you can see the ring clearly and also see the red and green. Very nice object to observe, cannot see center star
Cygnus
Alberto *** Double star. You can clearly see they comprise of a bright yellow and a dimmer (but bright) blue companion
Vulpecula
M27 ** Dumbell Nebula - very faint and hard to distinguish but you can just make out the dumbell shape and cannot see any colour but looks brownish
Ursa Major
M81 & M82 *** Can view both galaxies as fuzzy hazes with brighter centers at the same time using the 15mm EP. M81 (below M82) looks bigger and looks to be edge on.
