Yes, Dion, M13 is truly a great cluster. I might suggest you have a look at M3, M5, and M22. I like M22 better than M13. M4 is also very nice. If you would like to find a couple of out of the way globulars try M92 and M56. I especially like M92. Just ask Joan. Next time you are tempted by M13, use it as a guidepost for NGC 6207. It is in the same low power eyepiece field as M13. It's a nice, smallish edge on galaxy about 35 million light years away. Later in the summer look at M15. It's a nice globular with a different distribution. I neglected to mention that we also had a nice peek at PANSTAARS. On Friday night as well. Brent
