It was a great night. For some reasons, it was not easy to make a final decision though I knew that today is the day to go out. How many days a year the weather would be collaborative? As it used to be, the sky looked calm, peaceful, and almighty. I was thrilled to enjoy the quiet time with all of so many white, blue, pink, blue dots in the sky. Time flies by. I got rusty. I first spent almost a half an hour to set all up longer than normal and then started gazing the brilliant and beautiful germs in dark sky using my 5 inch refractor (130 mm). It was just stargazing, not astrophotography. I wanted to depend on my eyes to see the DSO and stars in spring constellations. I may be a lucky person who has lived with lovely people and who can see the calm and beautiful sky on this planet. Maybe my given life time is shorter than a speed of light. It would be amazed for me to be able to share some memories with the beloved ones. The objects I observed are as follow:
M41 (NGC 2287) Open cluster in Canis Major
M37 (NGC 2099) M36 (NGC 1960), M38 (NGC 1912), Open clusters in Auriga constellation
M81 (NGC 3031) Bode’s Galaxy, M82 (NGC 3034) Gigar Galaxy in Ursa Major constellation
M35 (NGC 2168) Open cluster in Gemini constellation
M44 (NGC 2632) Beehive cluster in Cancer constellation
M67 (NGC 2682) Open cluster in Cancer constellation
M3 (NGC 5272) Globular cluster in Canes Venatici
