6-12-2012 Triffied nebula

We had very clear skies and moon also rose very late. As it is June we are seeing summer skies.
Started with Saturn and M3. The always look spectacular.

Hercules Constellation. Could see all of it with naked eye. Observed glorious M13.

Sagitarious - Could see sky glowing around Sagitarious. Saw through binoculars and got treat! It was Lagoon and Trifid nebula. The sky around it was glowing like a cloud. Just above it also saw the beautiful M21 cluster.
There were so many glowing clouds and every where I looked I could see clusters of stars. The reason- I was looking towards the direction of the center of our milky way galaxy.

Scorpius -  Very beautiful constellation. Antares looked very bright and orange. Just realize that next Shaula there is another. Saw M6 and M7 open clusters just above Shaula. One is Ptolemy Cluster and other one was Butterfly cluster.  Could see a very glowing cluster close to Meu Lyrae. Don't know what is it but was glowing very bright.

Lyrae - Saw ring nebula - M57
