Description:
Area viewed is near small town with scattered lights but very open, rare to
see this low due to Midwest climate, these beauties simply glowed in low power
using a Rini 28MM 2 inch eyepiece. Did not magnify these as Moon was due to
rise so scanned the areas north in the Teapot as M22 etc. One of those rare
nights, but brief.
