My all time favorite summer object is M17, the Swan Nebula. It is especially nice in large aperture and with a UHC filter. Three less looked at objects include the Bug Nebula, NGC6302, the Blinking Planetary, NGC6826, and the Cat's Eye Nebula, NGC 6543. These are very nice planetaries. The Blinking Planetary will appear to flash as you look at and then away from the central star. Don't forget Kim Hyatt's Fairy Ring cluster at 20 hours 4 minutes and +38 degrees 20 minutes.

Hello all:
Would you give me some summer observing ideas to post on the website besides the perseids in August?
Thanks much all
