Site classification: Urban
Sky darkness: 5.0 <Limiting magnitude>
Seeing:
Moon presence: Minor - crescent or far from object
Instrument: 4.5" Homemade Dobson reflector, f/8 ("babydob")
Magnification: 25x
Filter(s): None
Object(s): NGC6811
Category: Open cluster
Class:
Constellation: Cyg
Data: mag 6.8 size 13'
Position:
Description:
The cluster is just 107' from Delta Cygni (almost 1 FOV at 25x),
so I starhopped from there. Despite promising magnitude of 6.8,
I couldn't see the cluster!
I'm not surprised no one else has so far reported a log of this
6.8-mag cluster to the IAAC. I don't think it's coincidence, the
cluster really must not be too special.
