Description:
NGC 6514 – M20 – EN/RN – Sagittarius – Mag 7 – Easy as a haze in the 27mm 
panoptic, but all but disappears at higher magnifications.  Can see the 
central star and hint of structure.  Slip in the UHC/O-III and the dark lanes 
immediately pop out and it begins to resemble the pictures.  Still best at 
lower magnifications with the O-III
