Star Party with the astronomy club. Bortle class 3 but it was still a very enjoyable evening. All objects clear and quick to find. Completing Messier certificate. M13, M41 which we also saw in binoculars, M43 located between the city light dome and the zodiacal light, the nebula cloud was hard to see, but we could see enough of it to know we found it; M92

I think I've seen this one earlier but this time, it appeared beautiful, showing hints of resolution with a bright centre. One peculiar fact is that it appears brighter than M13 to my eyes!
M92 (Globular Cluster, in Hercules)

A beautiful globular at 49x. Larger than NGC6229 (which I had just looked at), the outer reaches were clearly resolved into mottled stars. At 122x even the center began to show a mottled appearance, with some darker patches here and there. At 244x the center section appeared irregular. I think 122x gave the most aesthetically pleasing view.
