Observations of object "M22":

M22 (Globular Cluster, in Sagittarius)
Observer: Michael Amato (e-mail: abigmick@aol.com)
Instrument: 127-mm other   Location: West Haven, Connecticut, United States
Light pollution: moderate   Transparency: fair   Seeing: fair
Time: Fri Sep 3 00:45:00 2021 UT   Obs. no.: 2292

This evening, my brother Anthony & I observed many objects in Sagittarius with our 5" MAK. M22 was the best globular we viewed with a lot of speckling. We were able to see several other globular clusters too. We also viewed M8 & M17 & the nebulosity of both were very impressive. Four open clusters, M21, M23, M24 & M25 were the best of the open clusters we viewed. We also viewed the galaxy M31 with our scope & my 10X50 binoculars. In the telescope, we were able to see just the bright central core of the galaxy but with the binoculars, we were also able to see the wings of the M31. We put a filter on the eyepiece & we were able to see a section of the North America Nebula. That was really nice. Finally, we closed out the evening by watching the ISS go by.

This evening, a large group of us went to Eels Hill in Milford Ct. for an evening of observing. We started the evening by looking at Jupiter with the one member of the group's 18" dob. There was a huge white oval that was attached to the southern edge of the north equitorial belt. The storm was white with a dark circle going around it. The NEB also had good festooning on it. We toured around the southern skies to observe some Messier objects. In the 18" dob with bino viewers, M22 globular cluster was spectacular. It looked 3D with many individual stars showing. The globular clusters M10 and M12 also showed many individual stars. The Wild Duck Cluster, M11 was awesome. There was a veriable star in the middle which really stood out. I never noticed this star before because it was dim every time I looked at M11. The best nebula I viewed was the Swan Nebula. It clearly looked like a swan. The Dumbbell Nebula, M27 also was a great site in the 18" dob. We also observed M8, M20, M21 and M57. We also observed a beautiful garnet star. As for satellites, we observed an Iridium flare, Envisat and the ISS. Our final observation of the evening was of Neptune and its moon Tritan. Neptunes disk was a pale green color and Tritan was a grey dot. All in all, it was a graet evening of viewing.

Observer: Sriram.M.Gubbi (e-mail: sriram_gubbi@yahoo.co.in, web: http://dino.lm.com/artists/display.php?name=sriram_gubbi)
Instrument: 6-inch other   Location: Bangalore, Karnataka, India
Light pollution: light   Transparency: excellent   Seeing: poor
Time: Mon Jul 11 21:30:00 2005 UT   Obs. no.: 1262

This time, though there was a bad seeing, I could resolve the individual stars with averted vision.

Appeared a bit bigger than other globulars. But smaller than Omega Cen. A slight improvement in appearence with mottled edges through 6 inch. Maybe it will be resolved in a dark site.

M22 (Globular Cluster, in Sagittarius)
Observer: Michael Amato (e-mail: abigmick@aol.com)
Instrument: 13-inch Dobsonian reflector   Location: West Haven, Connecticut, United States
Light pollution: moderate   Transparency: fair   Seeing: good
Time: Sat Sep 11 01:30:00 2004 UT   Obs. no.: 1061

Last night, my friends Mike Dzubaty, his son Mike, Steve Borer and I observed some deep sky objects with Mikes 13" dob at high power. M22 globular cluster showed a 3D effect with the speckling of M22's stars. The stars seemed to jump at you in the telescope. M27, the dumbell nebula really stood out at high power. It also looked 3D among the milky way star field. We tried to see the central star in the M57 ring nebula at high power but we failed to see it. The ring itself showed very well. We were able to observe the fainter areas of the M31 Adromeda Galaxy. However, we were not able to see the dust lanes of the galaxy. We also observed M8, M11, M21, and M24 as well as the International space station and a -7 mag. irridiam flare.

Instrument: 50-mm refractor   Location: Bangalore, Karnataka, India
Light pollution: light   Transparency: excellent   Seeing: excellent
Time: Sun Apr 25 05:00:00 2004 UT   Obs. no.: 1205

this was the first globular cluster i observed through my telescope.it appeared as a ball of fuzz. it is very easy to locate on the bright milky way when compared to other globular clusters.even M13 is easy to locate.

Observer: Vedran Vrhovac (e-mail: vedran_vrhovac@yahoo.com)
Instrument: 8-inch Dobsonian reflector   Location: Velika Gorica, Croatia
Light pollution: moderate   Transparency: poor   Seeing: fair
Time: Sat Aug 12 21:30:00 2000 UT   Obs. no.: 1283

Afeter observing Moon I decided to take a quick look at M22. At 38x it appeared elliptical. Higher magnification (80x)showed me partial resolution near edges. Soon clouds came and I decided to finish my observations.

M22 (Globular Cluster, in Sagittarius)
Observer: Larry Wade (e-mail: lab@capital2.com)
Instrument: 10-inch Dobsonian reflector   Location: Belzoni, Mississippi, USA
Light pollution: moderate   Transparency: excellent   Seeing: fair
Time: Thu Sep 10 02:45:00 1998 UT   Obs. no.: 391

Visible in 6x30 finder. Very well resolved at 47xglittering in a moderately rich starfield. Two briter stars on southern edge of cluster. At 134x a sprinkle of briter stars over blue gray cloud of glitter. Seem to be a clump of dimmer stars in NE corner that appear to be a little detached from main mass of blue cloud

M22 (Globular Cluster, in Sagittarius, Est. RaDec 18h 36m -23deg. 54')
Observer: Greg Mizell (e-mail: gmizell@electro-net.com, web: http://www.electro-net.com/~gmizell/home.html)
Instrument: 6-inch equatorial reflector   Location: Tallahassee, FL, USA
Light pollution: moderate   Transparency: fair   Seeing: excellent
Time: Tue Aug 26 03:15:00 1997 UT   Obs. no.: 232

This is a beautiful globular. It rivals M13 in my opinion. I was able to resolve individual stars at 75X despite a fair amount of light pollution. Since this initial observation, I have seen it in darker skies and it really is spectacular.
