5-29-2022 TSS Visual Report of the Day.

"Some neighbors of Vega"

Gazing at bright stars usually means looking at bright glare at the eyepiece. Sometimes it can be fun to attempt to discern other objects in the field of view, whether clusters or galaxies or even stars. Today's featured report by team member John Baars captures a faint 9.6 magnitude star in the same field of view as Vega, the bright star in the constellation Lyra. For documentation of what he viewed, he offers up a wonderful sketch. Congratulations John on the nice drawing and on winning the TSS VROD for the day!
