M30

Due to inclement weather, this is the first night out to observe in over a month. Having scoured the skies last Fall, I did find M30 last night: A faint but pronounced globular cluster. Used my 10" Dob and a 10mm eyepiece to easily make out the core. Found in Capricornus, I used 41 Cap as a reference star to help find this 8.5 mag. object.
