Annie Yang | July 22, 2020

Categories: Astronomy.

Time: 11:00pm-2:30am(23th)

Targets:  North America Nebula, Dumbell Nebula, the Great Clusters in Hercules, Ring nebula, Whirlpool Galaxy

Photo Caption: Sketch of Ring Nebula through a 26mm eyepiece. No filter. Left and right inverted. (Sketched done on the July 25th viewing)

Was unable to see the North America nebula despite being by it. Unable to locate Whirlpool Galaxy. Had a look at the Dumbell Nebula, the Great Clusters in Hercules, and the Ring nebula. Could faintly see the hollow ring of the ring nebula, definitely quite impressive. Couldn't see much structure from the Dumbell Nebula but was still good viewing. Great Clusters in Hercules is definitely an impressive site worth revisiting.
