The Night Sky
I picked this book up at a garage sale last week and
this book blows it’s competitors out of the water.
Bar none the most comprehensive and through book on it’s topic.
It give a gives definition on most of the subjects in our hobby…
M13 The Great Globular
Cluster in Hercules
This is 1 15 second sub.
We had a bad storm come through yesterday.
I did not think I would get any scope time….
But I looked out around 10:30 and we had clear sky’s.
So out the the BackYard Observatory I went.
M13 is one of my favorite objects to observe.
From a dark site and a clear night you can naked eye see it
and its a wonderful binocular target!
Last night I also managed to to get a couple of subs of M5
