| Description | I'm going to miss the Messier objects when I've observed them all. Last night had a significant high cloud layer that made transparency terrible. Luckily there was no moon, so you could see through it. Observing galaxies was out of the question. What to do? Messier globular clusters are one answer. I collected 3 missing from my oevre: M10, M12, M14. |
