Description

I had a very productive night last week and managed to get four more Messier Objects all globular clusters for my catalog of Messier Objects. I only have eight left after working on it for over two years now. It did not start off very well as clouds soon moved in and blocked Polaris so I could not polar align. I thought it would clear up but it got worse even though it was supposed to be clear. After an hour I was ready to pack it it in but then it started to clear - I am glad I stayed.
