A Nice Night Of Starwatching

#1 Postby Ptarmigan » Sun Oct 18, 2009 12:47 am

I just came back from starwatching. It was a clear and cool night. I got a new eyepiece, Orion 15mm Expanse Eyepiece. Great eyepiece right there. 8-) Let see what objects I saw:

Jupiter
Beta Cygni-Beautiful double star with a blue and yellow star.
M15
M29
Andromeda Galaxy (M31)
M32
Pleiades (M45)
Ring Nebula (M57)

M=Messier

A productive night for one.

Beta Cygni would be beautiful to see! I am almost sure that my brother has a telescope here,
maybe buried in the garage after many years, but I have yet to find it...

He'd never miss it, I'm sure....lol! :wink:
