This is for all of you night sky observers. This is the month when we can take a peek into the summer Milky Way and the heart of our galaxy. We can find 12 or more objects. Only some are visible to the naked eye, all are possible to see in binoculars.
There are six globular clusters, four open clusters, and two diffuse nebula. Many of these objects also appear to be in pairs, either in visual appearance or location.
Let’s get started through the tour of the Milky Way. First of all you will find the M10, M12. This pair of globular clusters is in the middle of Ophiuchus, you can easily see through binoculars. They look like small blue snow balls, With all this heat we have been having this week, the thought of snow balls would feel good about this time. Through an 8” telescope M12 is well resolved while M10 is slightly more fuzzy looking. Both become very bright towards the center.
