Messier objects in Sct/Sgr/Sco

[starscy]

One more clear night hunting for Messier objects with 10x50 binoculars in Scutum/Sagittarius/Scorpius. Managed to identify the following and in most cases more than one object in the same field of view:

M6 M7

M8 M20 M21 M23

M24 M25

M11 M26

M22 M28

M24 M25

M16 M17 M18

M80

Missed a few other targets, but will try again.

Good targets you were able to find.

Where abouts are you observing?

Well done to get M6 and M7 they are so low down. You must have a very clear southern horizon. I only managed to see these objects with binoculars when I was in Spain in 2007. I have 4 Messiers objects to go - all in Sagittarius M54, M55, M69 and M70.
