I had a good session Saturday night. There was a short window from full astrotwilight at 9pm till moonrise some time after 10:30pm. I wanted to see the three globulars along the bottom edge of the teapot. Gary Seronik has them featured in his colum in Septembers Sky and Telescope. I was using my 20x80 binoculars while sitting in a portable lawn chair. The sky was riddled with cirrus patches, the water in the air column was up to 23mm and Sagittarius was low to the horizon. But Gary's map made it easy enough to follow the line between zeta and epsilon and I was able to tease them out from the skyglow. Next I went up to the "other wing" of Lyra. two stars eta and theta have a fine open cluster next to them called ngc6791. Oddly this is in the pocket skyatlas but not on the skyatlas 2000. Then I went for the comet 2009p1 Garradd. It was set on the line between 109 and 110 Hercules and was bright with a fine tail. Jeff Porter helped Ray Druian set up his new 14 dob. Views through this were the hit of the night. Jupiter, M13, and the usual suspects. DT
