Again, I fought the annoyance of car headlights (kind of like Chinese water torture…you never know when the next headlight will intrude on your observing) and observed in Sagittarius in my front yard. Sagittarius is one of the best constellations for Messier objects. Unfortunately, it is hard to observe from my house because it never rises very high in the southern sky. However, I now have 40 observations out of 50 required for my Binocular Messier certificate. I added these five tonight.
