I finally got a break from our normally horrid summer skies and took advantage of it by hauling my 10" Dob out into the backyard!
LM 6.0+ St 4/5
09:20 EDT 10mm Pentax XW - 120X
This is verbatum, right out of my notebook:
A dandy of a glob! It looks in the 10" the way M22 does in the 4.5". Very easy to see in the binox tonight - helps make it easy to find.
Very large and open/loose. Hazy, almost unresolvable center. With averted vision - the center explodes into stars!
Need to revist with 4.5" to see how good it is there - on a good night.
note - I've previously logged it in my 4.5" about a month ago, but under pretty poor skies. It was the last Messier I needed to complete all 110 - so even if the weather sucked, I was still going to log it that night!
