Object Found !!!
As I mentioned in an earlier post , I wasn't then able to find M57 . Tonight
I did :-) . Not a very impressive object , not at all like the Orion Nebula
. Didn't see the hole , just made out a dark smudged circle . Oh well , the
satisfaction was in the finding ,

M57 was the first planetary I found as well. It was a lot smaller
than expected, but it took magnification extremely well. If you have
the eyepieces, zoom way in.


Albireo : Very impressive . First time I've seen such color from stars . I
guess its the contrast that makes it stand out so well .


If you like Albiero, try Gamma And. It is another nice, colorful
double. It is closer than Albiero, but still splits very cleanly at
about 100x.
