Serpens and the Aquila area.

[cotterless45]

Before 11pm; Vixen 102 GOTO and PSA.

There are some lovely clusters in Serpens Cauda, there's a lot of space beneath Aquila ,

IC4756 being a huge mass of stars at x25.Well worth looking at,wow.

NGC6709 is a delicate cloud at x25 , but looks beautiful at x80.

IC4665 at x25 appeared as square of stars with two arms.

NGC6633 at x25 appeared as chains of stars heading off.

NGC6756/55 didn't rock my boat.

Then I had a look at NGC6572 at x40 this blue planetary nebula stood out in a chain of stars.

NGC6891 was found in Delphinus and The Blue Raquetball NGC6804 in Aquila.

A couple of globular clusters;

NGC7006 in Delphinus was very faint.

NGC6934 was bright at the end of a small cross of stars next to a bright star.

As it was quite good seeing, I caught NGC7331 at x25 (Stephan's Quintet) this was surprisingly large and bright. It looked elongated with a core at x80.

Most curious view was M27 using an 82 degree fov 15mm SW Panorama ep in the refractor, tasty.

This is a good area for the refractor at the moment, get the tripod right and it's sitting down time. Get it wrong and it's damp trousers and a stiff neck.

M11 was also in view but lowish, not much else to the south except a big oak tree,

Nice observations list and some really good finds. This month I haven't reached out to this part of the woods yet but I'll make a note of your sights and try to check them out this week. Thanks for the information and insights.

Very nice collection of objects there. Nice report.
