Martin,
I enjoyed reading your log on the Summer Milky Way. I live in the
Netherlands even more to the North than your location so I can totally
understand your enthusiasm. For me it is extremely rare to get a good nights
observing from mid May to early August and I have never observed the
wonderful objects in Sagittarius and Scorpius. On top of the twilight
conditions it
is more often than not very hazy this time of year in central Netherlands.
Clear (and dark) skies to all, and a happy 4th to all US readers.
