A time will come when men will stretch out their eyes. They should see planets like our Earth.

By constellation:



NGC 6760 (Globular cluster)
Right ascension: 19h 12m Declination: 1° 3'
Constellation: Aquila
Date/time: 2009.07.25 23:45 UT
Equipment: 12" f/5 Newtonian
FoV: 19' Magnification and filter(s): 167x
Seeing: 7/10 Transparency: 3/5
Location: Jászszentlászló, Hungary
Observer: Ferenc Lovró
Description:

Faint, diffuse globular cluster with a perfect circular shape and a core that's getting brighter only very gently. For me it was not resolveable, although it shows a faint star on its southern side, that may be a part of the cluster. Unfortunately the Jászszentlászló sky that was excellent this far was now ruined by the quickly increasing humidity in the air. Fortunately meanwhile this happened, the seeing got much better, so it made me a little happier on this almost Winter-like night. SQM reading: 21.20 m/arcsec^2, 9°C.
