Top 10 List for Summer

Posted By Dave Mitsky
There are many possibilities, of course, but off the top of my head I'll say (depending upon the horizons available), B86 (the Ink Spot), M8, M11, M17, M22, M24, M27, M57, Collinder 399 (binoculars), and the Veil Nebula complex (with the 13.1" and a nebula filter).

There are also obvious spring and fall choices such as M13 and M31 as well, not to mention binary and carbon stars.

I prefer 8 planets over 12+

Posted By Dave Mitsky
I also agree. Let the count be 8, not 80 or whatever the future holds in store

Ok I’ll try it again in Cherry Springs.

Posted By Dave Mitsky
That's one of the Stars and Parks programs. They are held across the road at the old airfield and do not really affect observing at CSSP very much. You can volunteer to help out if you so desire.
