The brave souls that fought off the mosquitos got to opportunity to see many abnormalities of the sky. Judging by the ability to see all 7 stars of Ursa Minor- tonight was what astronomers call a "severe clear".
Some of the astronomical objects we saw:
M27
M57
M11
The Summer Triangle
Ursa Minor
Alberio (the binary)
Epsilon Lyrae (the double double)
Job's Coffin
5 Satellites
1 shooting star (meteor)
Cepheious
The Northern Cross
Antares
Around 6 1st magnitude stars
Mars
Saturn
Nights like these are a great time to keep looking up!
