This evening, My friends Mike Dzubaty, his son Mike, Steve Borer and I did some deep sky observing with Mike's 13" dob. One of the objects we examined, was M28 globular cluster. M28 is a small tightly packed globular cluster that seems like it is embedded in the milky way. It could not compare with the other two globular clusters we observed M13 & M22. We also observed four great open clusters, M6, M7, M21 and M24. M7 is much larger than M6 but both open clusters were fine viewing objects. M24 simply jumps out at you and fills your whole field of view at low power. Finally, we observed M8 which is a nebula with an open cluster along side it. The nebula can also be seen with binoculars. All in all a fine night of observing.
