Second observing session of 2010. I didn't observe much in the summer last year, so this is an opportunity to see some summer objects.
Observed these objects tonight:
- Saturn - Spent a bit of time looking at Saturn. The rings are starting to open.
- M5 - First sighting. Bigger than I expected. Dim but very nice starfield. Can see lots of individual stars, especially with averted vision. Looks good through 8mm Orion Stratus at 150x.
- Arcturus - Attempted to attach my camera holder to my scope and take a picture of Arcturus through the eyepiece, but was not particularly successful. The picture came out, but was not very impressive.
- Antares - Took a look at Antares in order to star hop over to M4.
- M4 - First sighting. Found it by star hopping from Antares.
