I've found M71.....

[Cloudwatcher]

I was reading the latest S&N mag' earlier and admiring the picture of the Dumbbell Nebular & M71 cluster taken by Peter Clark in the Canary Islands and thought......... "Hang about I did one like that a few days ago..... where was M71"? I called up the image and began a hunt using the picture in S&N as a guide. I think I've found it right on the edge of the frame....... can anyone confirm?Shame we don't have the benign skies of the Canaries.

Cheers
