Star-Gazing Night - Summer Star Party (5-7-2011)

It was our annual summer star party with the 18 inch telescope in a night when students and teachers from 3 schools appeared at Shek O together. We observed the favourite summer targets including the great Omega Globular Cluster, M57 Ring Nebula, double-double, Albireo, M8 the Lagoon Nebula, M20 the Trifid Nebula, M27 the Dumbbell Nebula, M17 the Swan Nebula, M22 and the Bug Nebula. The most interesting object, however, was the little companion star next to the heart of the Scorpion called Antares B. It was a green!
