If you have any ideas for the August 2019 challenge we would love to hear them!
Please posts your suggestions to this thread, we will put them in the hat for the draw at the end of July!
Remember to be sure they are visible from both hemispheres and easily found with smaller scopes under moderately light polluted skies.
Looking forward to your suggestions!!!

Okay, I'm sticking with the Wild Duck (M11) until it gets picked.
Cheers,
JT

M4 is nice easy one to do. Nice and bright. Also dead easy to find, since it's close Antares.

Saturn?
Just past opposition in August so just past the dreaded meridian flip! And right in the best place for my back garden!

How about some Planetary nebulae. Like M27, NGC 6781, NGC 7009.

I'm not one to complain but come about mid November M11 is going to be very tricky for me to see from my location!

I would also vote for M11, not for the cluster itself as such, although it is a wonderful object, but for the dark nebulae (Barnard regions) in the area. I look forward to seeing these every year.
