weather has been kinda bad for the last several weeks. I managed to get the scope out the other night when we had a small break in the summertime haze. Only this new that I spotted was M4. Here's a pic I found on the web
Messier 4 or M4 (also designated NGC 6121) is a globular cluster in the constellation of Scorpius. It was discovered by Philippe Loys de Chéseaux in 1746 and catalogued by Charles Messier in 1764. It was the first globular cluster in which individual stars were resolved.
