Haven't had much chance to get out this month but here is an interim report as I hope to get to the dark site next Saturday weather permiting.
It was still partly cloudy when I went out last night so I was only planning on doing my Jewel Box sketch. But once this was done the sky was clearer.
I had no particular plan and didn't take notes either. I did seek out M17 which was high overhead at the time. I could see the body of the swan clearly with a distinct dark line running down one side. Seeing this dark line gave a hint of the fainter surrounding nebula. From my backyard I could not clearly make out the neck or head of the swan. I hope to get back to this one on Saturday.
