The sky is great here, but I'm stuck at home because of morning commitments. About 20.3mag on the SQM, the dark sites would be 21.4 at least...

Anyway, a few clusters were viewed, M13 popped its prop out immediately, what a sight! So distinct... On to M22- you know when the mag is cranked up on this object, its beauty really start to show with a nice spread out appearance, similar to M13 in a way.

And last but not least....NGC 7789 - Carloline's Rose, a special favorite and a target every session during it's season. Those dust lanes cutting through the diamond field is mesmerizing! :smiley:

I spent 1.5 hrs on these clusters plus a bit on the Veil, Crescent etc- not too bad considering this was off my deck in lightish skies.

Nice report! I was really surprised when I saw m22. Low above the horizon but as bright as m13.. It must be huge!Glad you had a nice evening. Even if not a proper session, it is still lovely to just go out and see something. Thankfully the sky will be there tomorrow too!
