Summer nights are short but warm, so observing at this time is as comfortable as possible. In the second half of the night, a wide, bright band of the Milky Way stretches across the sky, where you can find many scattered star clusters. However, in June, we suggest paying attention to many planetary nebulae and globular clusters.
The easiest of these will be the Dumbbell Nebula (M27 – the Chanterelle constellation) and the Ring Nebula (M57 – the Lyra constellation), suitable even for beginners with small instruments. The Blinking Planetary (NGC 6826 – Cygnus) and the Cat’s Eye Nebula (NGC 6543 – Draco) will be more compact and therefore more difficult to find.
The undisputed king of globular clusters is M13, located in the constellation Hercules. Not far from it, you can find M92, which is more compact but has a brighter core. Another globular cluster, M56, can be found near the Ring.
