Class: Very sparse
Constellation: Cyg
Data: mag size
Position: RA 20:32:48 DEC 41:12:00
Description:
A few stars were faintly seen within the Keystone of Hercules, which puts the
NELM at somewhere slightly beyond 6th magnitude. It was about 50 degrees up at
the time.
Near Sadr, recently reclassified (?) globular cluster; extremely faint compared
to the background sky. Really just a granulated slightly brighter spot in the
background sky. Rod Mollise confirmed the observation. Approximately 3' or
so in apparent diameter, but that's a /very/ rough approximation. This was a
"just confirmed it was there" observation and not much more.
