After making sure all my responsibilities for the start of the Boston Lobster's tennis season (July 7th) were in order Thursday evening, I headed up to the farm on Friday to meet family and friends. We watched our own fireworks display brought up by my father. I thought it was quite impressive for a private display. Saturday was spent in Montreal Canada, where we had lunch and did some shopping. That night I setup my 10" Meade SCT for the first time in over a year. We observed:
Jupiter (with moons Ganymede, Io, Europa, and Callisto)
M31 - Andromeda Galaxy
M51 - Whirlpool Galaxy
M57 - Ring Nebula
M27 - Dumbbell Nebula
M13 - The Great Globular Cluster or Hercules Globular Cluster
M4 - Globular Cluster in Scorpius
Unfortunately I didn't have the Deep Sky Imager software on my laptop, so I tried to get some photographs through the telescope with my point an shoot. No luck. However, I did get some pictures of the rest of the weekend.

Wow, that's a lot of Bling-Bling to go Bang-Bang!! (Sorry, couldn't resist). These are great pictures. Nice video too. Looks like you guys had beautiful weather.
We really miss the Green Acres, especially around the 4th of July. Wish we could have been there to share it with you. Next year, I guess....
Thanks so much for posting!!
