Clear Night

[asteria]

Hi there - first clear night for ages. Good quality sky so out with the Meade 9x63s.

Once my night vision had developed there were some wonderful views to be had - Andromeda G was superb. Pleiades very crisp and clear.

I spent quite a bit of time around Cygnus, finding my way between the Swan, Lacerta, Andromeda and Pegasus. Lots to look at with these big binos. Able to identify M39 easily.

Picked out the key stars in Pegasus, including a good view of beta Pegasus.

This was my first time out for a long time due to the poor weather and other factors.

Let's hope for some more clear skies over the coming weeks.
