I'm very happy to report, that our new (rental) house is situated under even darker skies!
Noticeably darker than at our last place (technically ~ .5 star magnitude better).
...Grabbed the vintage 7x50's...Grabbed a plastic (but comfy) lawn furniture chair - Despite there being just about a (100%) full moon:
Looked at the Lyra constellation -
Tried to spot M57 - NG
I did get a glimpse of M27, The Dumbbell Nebula
Cygnus - Saw the North American Nebula (faintly)
Cassiopeia - Saw NGC 281
Cassiopeia - Saw the Double Cluster
Was also able to see a few other DSO's, including M31.
All-in-all, it was a very enjoyable experience. And very relaxing (I hadn't taken the time to simply observe like that in a long time).
Until the next post - Clear & steady skies to you!
