Last evening, I observed The Northern Cross with my 5.1" Short Tube Newtonian Reflector & 10X50 binoculars. As I was scanning though the stars of the Milky Way, I suddenly came to the Northern Coal Sack Nebula. In my scope, the view was blank until I skewed back to where the stars were. It was a nice view through my instruments.
Alpha Cyg (Deneb) (Star, in Cygnus)
Observer: John Callender (e-mail: jbc@west.net, web: http://www.west.net/~jbc/)
Instrument: 8-inch Dobsonian reflector Location: Carpinteria, CA, USA
Light pollution: light Transparency: good Seeing: fair

Before coming out to observe I asked Linda, who was already in bed, what she thought I should look at. She chose Cygnus from the list of possibilities I gave, so Cygnus it was. Working my way through Burnham's, I started with Deneb, a dazzling white star in a pretty field. After observing in relatively sparse Hercules the other night, I really noticed the rich Milky Way star field at 49x.
