Didn't stay out too long. We left a little after 9:30, on the road by 9:45. Fighting dew on the finder for most of the night. It was a pretty nice night. Gerarda came along as she hasn't been along too many times lately. She loves globs, so we saw quite a few of those. Vega was visible straight overhead a little after we got there at around 7:35. Looked at Saturn and Mars at the beginning while waiting for other things to show up. Also, got Albireo in before 8:00. It was after 8:00 before we could see much of anything. After that, quite busy. What I remember we looked at: M4, M80, M5, M11, M13, M92, M22, M28, M8, M27, M71, M57, M31, M32, M110, M3, M81, M82, M51, M15, Almach, Perseus Double Cluster, Alcor, Mizar — 10 globs in that bunch.
So not too bad for the, wow, last night of summer! Wow, last night of summer. Another AGNFA!
