M6, 7, & 8

#1

Post by seer »

Last night I got another chance and took out my 10x50s. I had to get up early the next morning so I didn't take out a telescope. I looked at M6, 7, & 8. I most looked at M8. I could see the Lagoon Nebula. It was my first time checking it out. After I came back in and while going thru a book I discovered that I should have tried for M22 also.
