What a night! I was only out there for 3 hours, but I got a great observation of Saturn. Atmosphere banding, 4 moons, Cassini's Division, planet shadow on the back eastern side, it was awesome.
A binocular double star observation of Omega Scorpii, a wonderful wide angle FOV with Beta, Delta and Nu Scorpii in the same FOV.
Globular cluster M5 (NGC 5906) was next. I took the time to draw that and had forgotten that I had left the 13mm Televu Ethos in after I looked at Saturn. Wow! M5 rocks.
I finished with an initial observation of R Draconis. I wanted to get T Draconis as well, but the Variable Star observing list does not show the RA and Declination. There are simply too many variable stars. I need to bring my Burnham's Celestial handbook out there again.
The last objects I looked at were M81 and M82. I did that with my 50 mm Vixen 2" eyepiece. I think that is the eyepiece that I will do with all of the Variable Star list. Here's hoping for a great Friday night for the RAC at Eagle Bluff. So far this summer has been simply fantastic.
