Had to stop and take a break to reapply mosquito repellent, then resumed my search for this pair located in Ophiuchus. I managed to pass right over the dimmer M12 when I found M10, which caused some confusion, but I eventually got it figured out. Very pretty, yet another reason to invest in binocs, I'd love to see them both at the same time.

Once I realized the constellation I had been searching wasn't actually Hercules (duh), M92 was a snap. The core is surprisingly bright. Very pretty.

This one took a bit longer to find than M3. The notes I'd prepared weren't very helpful so I ended up doing some crazy starhopping using the Star Tracker app on my phone. But hey, it worked! Bright globular, too dense to resolve.

Ah, the Eagle Nebula. Home to the iconic Pillars of Creation. I had to check and double check I was looking at the proper object, as I couldn't really make out the nebulosity. Luckily my research noted this may be the case. I'm going to have to head to the next club meeting to take a look at this with a bigger scope.
