French Christmas And New Year Greetings

osservativo_Parte3_ Diary" Bortle Straight 2 of "Diary

Comments Bortle scale level 2.
the satellite to be very large green area which occupies the whole of northern Sardinia, apart from Porto Cervo, and the village is just
Centrodi to this: a beautiful blue blob that bodes well. A temptation is formed by the Gulf of Sassari, a huge extended blue in the center of which lies the Black
Two hours of journey to heaven. I am in Gallura where reigns the mistral and clouds are a distant memory, where the Milky Way
defeats the design marble rivers of stars, neat, dense branches that split and then weave. The region of 12 Aquilae
is a dense cloud of white powder that enhances the vision down until horizon. Averted vision in M13 appears high above his head but with a hundred lamps in the village. (All observations were made under these conditions except for two, or M11 easy to live away from the zenith ... for example.)

Instrumentation: OrionXT10 "i / Hyperion 21mm, 13mm 67x/Hyperion, 93x/Burgess/TMB 5mm , 250x. collimated optics recently, mea culpa.

July 6: In the first evening of the mania ruin perfectly align the optical observations and leads me to seriously impair the orientation of the secondary
. I still be able to test the goodness of occho sky with the eyepiece, a M13 that emerges in an explosion of a star from the sky background
pitch black, the couple M81-82 compared to the best mountain views from the site of the Alta Val Trebbia M51 clearly shows an arm ...

July 7: weather conditions similar to the previous day. The good conditions are satisfied, and I have time to devote to the deepening of Cepheus, perhaps too much neglected compared to
meravilgie hosting, starting from the giant NGC6946: a galaxy is viewed from the front, is a huge halo dark gray, irregular
Coreless 5 stars framed between mv 10/11; to 93x can be found in the same field with the near OC Ngc6939, another wonder of the sky where the condensation
decreesce star from the inside out. The observation began with Ngc40, PN mv. 12.4, a small oval
seems to show a 250x more light to the east. Following the OC Ngc188, almost spherical shape and very rich. Three galaxies in a row from Ngc1184 with the addition of the lovely couple
Ngc2276 and 2300, very close, a marked difference: the first view from the front, the second looking stellar. Here's a slew of open clusters
, individual Ngc6939.6951.7023.7023.7129.7142.7160.7226.7235.72 61.7380.7419.7510; share a rather similar while not exceeding the 11 mv,
some of them have a real dust of stars that remain unresolved . I conclude the adventure with the planet in the constellation Ngc7139.

July 8: I move the telescope on the terrace which offers the eye of the constellations south. Inevitably at least a dozen street lamps (under)
light nearby, the lack of a hood leads to a slight loss of contrast. The evening is very good and the Milky Way extends its ramifications until
Scorpio to touch down and Wei MU1 Scorpii 4-5 ° above the horizon is the evening of Sagittarius, its nebula and its open and globular clusters
, while Jupiter shines bright. The optics are not too collimated and seeing the poor do not allow the observation of the transit of a satellite
mediceo.Visibili a couple of bands and sometimes the red spot. Giants M8, M20 and M17 do not seem to have no boundaries: the Lagoon is perhaps the item most beautiful sky and
is clear the dark cloud that separates and the bright open cluster Ngc6530. This explains the name of the Trifid, dark
obvious traits that define the shape, the same goes for the Swan, some light and shade alone a huge, clear the "neck" of the swan. The dance opened with
M22, the globular open to 250x that is fragmented into many stars with no nucleus occupying the entire field of the eyepiece, M28, which follows the same
magnification reveals a halo completely solved. Finally, the marathon between the globular and open clusters, all in one breath M23, NGC6520, 6522, M21, 6530.6546,
6544, M24, M18, M69, M25, Ngc6642, 6645, M70, Ngc6716, M54. Needless to describe them ... and the horizon is veiled.

July 9 to 10: The Milky Way is always feeling down and almost at the horizon, everything seems in order for a good observation, but the mistral
not forgive. A steady and powerful wind that never ends. I pull out the tube and after a little back: dancing around, almost beyond belief, it is impossible to have
some results. M13 I feel that in times of calm is spectacular and the nearby galaxy Ngc6207, easy. Here is M103 in Cassiopeia, stop.

July 11: Jupiter showed to friends. 93x, better vision, you notice the red spot and at least three to four bands.

July 12: to 21 an opportunity to observe the trio Evening: Venus, Saturn and Regulus. The Lord of the rings is irrconoscibile compared to the splendor of spring and is stingy with details
. The Milky Way is awesome as usual and I can see easily distracted in M13 without optical aids. I missed the easiest of the galaxies in Canes
Venetics, home to some real monsters like Ngc4244 and 4631, two time huge gray, very long (almost 12 '), a few drops of light in a second net thickening in the far east . In all twenty
galaxies, NGC 4111, starting from the bright stellar core surrounded by a small, slightly elongated halo. That's the core point of dazzling
Ngc4111 dall'alone suffused. Here Ngc1214 very large, large halo that seems irregular as the core. M106 is the giant oval nucleus irregular dall'alone huge
uniform, but seems to M81 is larger and brighter. Ngc4449 is bright, a large bar, a rather mixed and seems to appear some difference in brightness,
hint of structure. The Cocoon galaxy is a big oval with his girlfriend in front of view equally clear, a beautiful gray rod. Below Ngc4656, the lighthouse M94, the Ngc5005
thickened towards the east, the pretty picture Ngc5353-5354 and 2.1 'north Ngc5350 and 44' 13mm Hyperion is also contained Ngc5371 near a bright star of mv 9.2.
M51 clearly shows an arm, sometimes a second, uncertain. You notice a star sull'alone at 250x even more evident.

July 13: first away. A five minutes' drive to Aglientu take a track on the left and continue for 1km. An open space on the edge is the place where you have chosen
a 360 ° up to Scorpio with a carved Milky Way (from L'going to get is a succession of consolidations that alternate in an endless game with black clouds, gray and some items of Sagittarius. M13 is easily visible in direct view of the usual tour as a beautiful globular cluster M13, M3, M5, M2 ... continuing with the Lagoon, the Trifid and Swan
better understanding of the latter offfre always is huge and the burr extends beyond measure, the central body is a chiaroscuro where a whole succession of consolidations
light and falls into a breathtaking tangle. The telescope seems to point to the ground, is almost horizontal, is the globular
Ngc6388 to 46 arcmin above the horizon at 23:56, the field of view is half sky and half land, on a sky background that no luminescence appears senbra a batuffolone
very bright with a clear concentration toward the nucleus and a halo unresolved, however, the mv and 6.7! Starting from June to the magnificent M80 M4, M6, M7 wondering how objects
variations may be so low so bright and flashy. Here Ngc6124, 6231,6242,6281,6322,6383,6441, those who open globular, all united by the same fund from which dark sky unexpectedly emerge almost exclusively the object in a star poor field.

July 16 to 17: when the wind langue you realize that you are above sea level. The sky is good overhead and transparency is low. In the two nights I note
a tour in the Shield in Hercules in Delphinus and arrow with some beautiful object, with the addition of Blinking and Cat's Eye.


July 24: genius of Sardinia, the village disappears after midnight in the dark, no street lamp saves. At 1:40 starts the night ended at 6.00 when sbaraccare Auriga
before dawn while the quiet, a nice picture of Mars, the Pleiades, Aldebaran and Capella. Waiting for the moon falls at least 18 degrees below the horizon I miss the ideal time for galaxies
whales and sculptor, he began to lighten when I try to no avail M77. Pegasus is high above his head and M31 is quite a long time, not to mention easy
Ngc6633 and M11 with the naked eye. A fantastic windy evening where nearly the limit mv ^ 7 to be compared to the best winter evenings, there are mountains to the sea level. After a Swan and a Dumbell
that send chills (chiroscuri nodules and for the first, the central star for the second) wait until the show of M31. Capricorn finally resolved in the halo in M30 at 250x with two beautiful chains of stars that radiate from the nucleus and Ngc6907. I conclude with IC4465
Ophiuchus, at least twenty stars not contained brightly in the 71 'of 21mm, and the globular Ngc6309 Ngc6356 unresolved even at 250x. Ngc6633 is indescribable. The beautiful view from the front with gx Ngc6384
hint of irregularity and stellar core. The Aquarium offers a beauty like Ngc7293, a true giant, a huge circle of light falls in the middle and the precise borders in the north. The Saturn Ngc7009
shows bright and nearly oval, and here Ngc7606 Ngc7727. Crane offers a beautiful galaxy, IC 1459. Here is the Southern Fish Fomalhaut. Before the sunset we list the Sagittarius constellation
M54, M55, Ngc6723, returning on M8 M75 and M22. M71 is the most beautiful object of this first part (with M11), drowned in a welter of minute stars that look like a carpet fine. The veil seems very clear and it is engraved, Ngc6960 like a photo without details, follows Ncc7008 not uniform and the Crescent, the Blinking is lost in the sea of \u200b\u200bstars that were hidden by the first two evenings calm and do not spend time looking in nuovamnete.Gironzolo Andomeda
waiting for the big moment, and I note the huge open cluster Ngc404 Ngc752, Ngc891 galaxy is a long list of 13 'with a thickening middle, and finally Ngc7662 7686. In a moment I'm on M31! The Satellite M110 is huge and is highly elongated
M32 has a halo that fades Slightly brightly. Here is the giant, the central body that contains the stellar core brightly, a beacon is a giant in the north the two dark bands cut their net long field of view
a halo endless extremely suffused, I find them almost immediately but not knowing what to expect exactly. Some stars on 'core-alone. To the east, follow the glow faded that proceeds out of at least 1 ° field of view
of 71 '. The most beautiful view is provided by the same eye Hyperion formats 2, which contains largely the two satellites with a range between 100 'and 105'. A 93x the two bands are more distinct, especially the first close to the nucleus,
the second is less obvious but always present. With a 12 "could have been quietly groped globular. M45 is contained entirely in the form 2 ", rated 35-40x magnification. I conclude with twice Perseus and the best view ever for M15
a low to medium magnifications. Even the little Dumbell M76 in Perseus is highest when Mirfak. Mars is incomplete because presentacome a sphere in phase (?). While they were a pale dawn sky in a fund M38 increasingly clear.
all seasoned with a dozen shooting stars scattered between Taurus and Aquarius.
