Description:
This night, I saw a globular cluster for the first time.
It is very easy to find M22. But when found, I couldn't resolve it. It
may be due to light pollution or low magnification or interstellar
dust. It is brighter than I expected and looks like a fuzzy disk with
no hint of resolution.
Then I found M25. I did not search M25 but it came into my view. With
averted vision, it seems like a group of 10-15 stars in a fuzzy
area. I think, under darker sky, much more stars can be resolved.
Now it is time to sleep.
