Waiting for .......Serpens !

Look beneath a Corona Borealis , a scattering of stars gives Serpens Caput. Hiding there is the globular cluster M5 . An astounding sight with plenty of sparkle . About 12 billion years old , but these ancient stars have attracted hit blue stragglers.

Oh lovely night ! Plenty time to play around with eyepieces and Barlows. Plenty different views of Alkalurops  , the clearest being with a 10mm Hyperion in a x2 Barlow.

Long session with Hercules binaries, before viewing M92 and over to M53 , dusty in Coma Berenices. Bode's were lovely and high and gave great views of dust lanes .

ΟΣ341 in Hercules is really worth a look , a lovely multiple with fainter stars popping with averted vision.

Up to Draco and the blue / green cat eye of NGC 6543.

Tried the Virgo and Coma galaxies , but not much contrast over town.

Accompanied by the hedgehog crunching dried chicken cat food and lapping up water , a beautiful night to be out ,

Careful now ,clear skies,
