Quick observations with the 7x50
We had another clear day followed by a clear night. I went out around 11pm again setting up on the south facing terrace. It only allow a small slice of the sky to be observed because of the overhanging roof and the tall trees. I could not observe some of the targets in Sagittarius because it had moved up too much in the sky already. The milky way was barely visible with the naked eye.

- M22 Great Sagittarius Cluster
- M25 Open Cluster - Sagittarius
- M8 Lagoon Nebula - Sagittarius
- M20 Triffid Nebula - Sagittarius
- M7 (Ptolemy Cluster) - Scorpius
