Images taken during public observing on Friday, 20 Aug 2005.

A few night owls at this viewing session were inspired to wait patiently for me to locate and focus a few “deep sky” objects on the video imager. Here are the results:

The Ring Nebula, a planetary nebula near the star Vega, was our first image… which explains the lousy focus.	Messier 13, a globular cluster containing millions of very old stars, was the most photogenic object of the night.	M31, the Andromeda galaxy, coyly refused to reveal much of its faint extended disk, since the full moon was beaming away high in the sky.
