Yesterday the weather got a bit better and I obviously got under the dark skies with my binocular. My main object was Messier 27, the Dumbbell Nebula in Vulpecula. After I had observed it for a while I decided to sketch it up and so I did. Despite the Moon was still on it's 93%, I found the nebula relatively bright. Other DS-objects I hunted were M71 in Sagitta, M13 in Hercules and the twin galaxies M81 and M82 in Ursa Major. I succeeded to find all but M82 being so faint and "thin". But that all will change when I get my 10". It's gonna be a long jump from the 15x70 binoculars to a 254mm telescope..
