Below are the subjects in Aquila that I wish to view:-
Objects of interest.
Eta Aql. A well know Cepheid variable. Its magnitude ranges from 3.5 To 4.3 over 7 days. One day, I will buy myself a decent camera and take some wide-angle images of this.

The Main Stars.
Alpha Aquilae (Aql). Altair is one of the vertices of the very large asterism known as the Summer Triangle (the other two vertices are marked by Deneb and Vega.) Altair is only 17 LYs away.

Beta Aql. Alshain is a subgiant with 1.3 Solar masses and with a luminosity 6 times the Sun. 45 LYs away.

Epsilon Aql. Deneb el Okab (meaning the tail of the eagle) is a giant star some 155 LYs away.
Note. I do not report on the already well-known Messier and Caldwell objects, but these are those in Aquila:
Messiers: Nil
