A fellow KAS member once told me that M27 looks like the Batman symbol. I thought that was a neat description. After surveying the spectacular planetary, I went onto NGC 6940, a loosely packed open cluster in Vulpecula. This cluster doesn't have any dazzling bright stars, but it is a rich grouping, certainly pleasing to the eye. Another open cluster, NGC 6834 in Cygnus, is a very tight group.
Sharp focus is needed here to bring out several more stars.
There seems to be three distinct groups of stars here. There are many bright stars grouped in pairs in this one and is spectacular in my 55 mm eyepiece. A nice change of pace came when I punched NGC 7027 into the keypad of my LX200. A planetary nebula in Cygnus, it is the textbook version of a planetary nebula. It is a small blue dot with no features visible at any power whatsoever.
