Description:
NGC 6514 – M20 – EN/RN – Sagittarius – Mag 7 – Easy as a haze in the 27mm
panoptic, but all but disappears at higher magnifications. Can see the
central star and hint of structure. Slip in the UHC/O-III and the dark lanes
immediately pop out and it begins to resemble the pictures. Still best at
lower magnifications with the O-III
