Default Observing Report -- M57

Location : Montreal , Canada
Time : 2200 to 0020 Local
Equipment Used : 4.5" Reflector , 8X42 Bino's
Object Sought : M57

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 ,

Also observed :

The Double Double : Could not split the doubles , not even at 150X .

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

A good night out under the stars :-)
