Advice on June targets for a small scope..

[philipok]

Hi All,

I'm going to be in the South of France first half of June, and will take my WO Zenithstar 66 with me.. any suggestions for good targets for 43N, pretty good skies ? Will this scope be enough to pick up some of the virgo lot?

cheers

And Sagittarius. Sounds like a good opportunity to "bag" the stuff that doesn't rise high enough to be seen well from the UK, especially since you will be clear of the perpetual twilight that afflicts this country from mid May to late July.
