Great report Doug. I love this area of the sky. I never used to because like you I have a little sky glo, but once I discovered that it wasn't enough glo to worry, it has become one of my regular areas to view. Not far away from M27 and a bit higher is the Saturn neb. If you can see M57 you should be able to see it. Its slightly smaller than M57 and a little harder to find, but worth the look.

But at one stage, Vega was just visible between trees and above the embankment, so I turned the scope that way looking for the famous Epsilon Lyrae, the "double-double" for my first time.

Thanks Eric, I had heard if this but never got around to finding out where it was. Since I always look in this area, next time I go out I am definately trying to split these.
