After locating M19, M62 was easy to find. A large brilliant cluster, this would be about the end of my observing for the night.

After leaving M62 I took a few minutes to scan through the galactic center in Saggitarius for the first time this year. I look forward to hunting more objects in this area.

A great night and a great session. I observed more than I thought I'd be able to, stayed warm and had great company. I could have stayed longer if only I had more sleep. Next time, I'll remember not to stay up too late with friends the weekend of a favorable moon and weather.
