Notes
Found Comet C/2003 K4 (LINEAR) lurking off the west corner of the keystone in Hercules. It's a faint mist, shining at about ninth magnitude right now near to sigma Her (a star system that might have planets). At highest power, the coma is visble, but no tail to speak of. There is some distortion to the east (I think - still getting used to directions in the scope). Exciting to see my first telescopic comet.

Turned to Albireo which I have seen in scopes before, although this was the first time with mine. Such a beautiful pair, one blue, one red. The seperation was very easy (35") but seeing them as pin points was spectacular. So clear tonight.

While I was in that part of the sky, I added to my Messier list with M27, the Dumbbell Nebula. This was great at all magnifications, even with the Barlow. No structure beyond a slight hourglass figure. Very bright.

Nearby, the third brightest star in Delphinus is Almach, which is a lovely double. Close for my scope at 10", but easily seperable tonight, when everything seemed so clear and easy to get. Like Albireo they are coloured but yellow and blue, easily seen in the scope.

Finally swept the sky a little around Capricorn, but could find the deep sky objects I was looking for, so I trained my high power and Barlow on M11, the Wild Duck Cluster, for an amazing view.
