Went out last night even though I was feeling crummy because the Sky and Telescope site said that Titan was to pass into Saturn's shadow around 9:50pm. I watched for a while and didn't see anything, so my guess is that I just don't know which moon was Titan. :-P The seeing was pretty bad where Saturn was sitting, and a lot of light from a nearby street light was bleeding in as well. Oh well.
After that, I turned to Lyra and found the Ring Nebula (M57), which I never had found before. Pretty cool. I upped the magnification all the way 240x and could still see quite a bit. Really neat shape to it. After that I took a quick look at M13 again before heading to bed.

I enjoyed reading your blog, and your adventures into this great hobby. Love the pics of the kids at the eyepiece especially.
Clear skes, and if not, Cloudy Nights.
