Quick gaze before moonlight.

Looking around as darkness fell , first signs of the lunar light arriving . Looking south , still available are M11 , M17 and M22. Glorious view of Graff's in Serpens,IC 4756. Found "The coat hanger " using x10 binoculars. Half way between Albireo and Altair. 

Reminded me to check out " Kemble's cascade", go one top span of Cassiopeia to the left to find this chain heading pole-wise. 

Caught NGC 188 , the "Ancient one ", about 6 billion years old , a compact twinkle of an open cluster. Very near to Polaris.

Camelopardalis showed Stock 23 , "Pazmino's cluster" at 03h16.2m +60 00'. Some lovely shapes there , including the bright Σ362.

Seeing as the sky was getting light , I caught the delicate triple Σ1127 in Camelopardalis, lovely view. 

Had a look around at this early sky , from Perseus to Pegasus with Auriga rising . At the zenith , Cygnus and the last of the Summer Triangle. Just waiting for Orion and winter treasures and clear skies !
