Ludtke, two amateur astronomers in Saskatchewan who
enjoy teaching astronomy classes and showing the public views
through their telescopes. actualastronomy@gmail.com

Description: This month we talk about some of the globular
clusters from the Messier catalogue you can easily see on summer
nights. From big and bright M5 and M4 to small and mighty M80 we
talk about viewing some of the best globular clusters of the
year. We also talk about a large, faint face on spiral galaxy.
All of these objects are possible with binoculars, most are down
right easy even with small binoculars.

 

M3

This globular cluster in Canes Venatici is one of the brightest
objects in the sky. In binoculars this object is definitely not
star like, but more of a bright, small snowball easy to see.
Small telescopes will begin to resolve M3 into individual stars.
The hardest part of this object is locating it in a portion of
sky that contains few bright landmarks.

M53

Another globular cluster in Canes Venatici. While not quite as
big or bright as M3 it is still an obvious binocular object.
Resolvable in small telescopes, it as easy object to find sharing
the same low power telescope field as fifth magnitude Alpha Coma
Berenices.

M5

A big, bright globular cluster located in Serpens Caput. M5 is as
nice as M3 but lies near a fifth magnitude naked eye star (5
Serpentis) making it an easy object to find.

M68

An eighth magnitude globular cluster in Hydra, M68 is a difficult
binocular object for Northern observers. It appears as a faint
fuzz spot in binoculars, you may need to use averted vision or
large binoculars to find this one. Appearing as a round fuzzy
patch in a 8" telescope, you will need a much larger aperature to
really resolve it.

M83

A face on spiral in Hydra. M83 is fairly easy in binoculars as a
faint, fuzzy patch of light. In a telescope look for a large
patch of light with a bright center.

M4

A big bright globular in Scorpius, easily located near Antares.
This is an easy binocular object appearing as a round snowball.
Partially resolvable in a telescope, the trade mark of this
globular is a line of bright stars crossing the center.

M80

This is the smallest and faintest globular cluster this month.
Located in Scopius, M80 is a very tough binocular object
appearing as a faint star with slight fuzziness around the edges.
This is confirmed with a telescope, M80 has a bright central
condensation in the middle of faint fuzz. It is one of the
Messier objects that even through a medium telescope still looks
like a comet.
