At Goose Creek State Park in an open parking lot at the end of the park road I set up the scope Friday night and observed from about 10 p.m. until 2 a.m. I started off just above the tree line in Ophiuchus with the 7.7 magnitude Globular Cluster M9, It is about 25,800 light years away from our Solar System.
Next was magnitude 7 Globular Cluster M10, Globular Cluster M12, and then Globular Cluster M14.
Next, In Hercules I observed Globular Cluster M13 and then M92. M92 was located at the zenith and appeared much brighter and more clear than M13, even though M13 is brighter in magnitude.
I piggybacked the camera for a few frames of the Milky Way looking toward Cygnus and Cassiopeia and also shot a Frame of M31, the Andromeda Galaxy.
