8/12/2006 0214 hrs "AAVSO Chi Cyg"

Location Crofton MD home coords. Temp. 65, breezy. Clear. Trans 7 seeing 6
NGC 0224 fuzzy center observed. Lp too bright to see much else.
M-45 Pleiades. A favorite open cluster this object shows well tonight.
Hyades pretty in the 50 X finder scope.
NGC 1960 nice view.
NGC 1912 first time observing this open cluster.
CHI CYG. Mira class variable star. Reported bright maximum brought this too my attention. I had no problems locating this exceptionally bright star without the scope. Took a photo using Nikon D50.
NGC 1976 happy to see this great nebula in the sky again.. 30 second photo turned out well.
