large, circular, diffuse core.  Some stars are resolved completely across
the cluster.

Description:
Straight up at the top of the sky at my location, Gamma Cygni getting ready 
to hide over my balcony awning. 

Alight on the "whipping starfish" asterism between M 28 and NGC 6871. 
Tipping SE on a rectilinear path a few degrees I spot NGC 6891 at X25.
The Deep Sky filter shows a lot of background glow in the "leaping 
fish" asterism 6871 creates, about half a degree long in a Celestron
40mm Kellner lens. The fish' "head" aims south, the tail, north. 20 min 
rectilinear on the arc tipping NW, dipping down, you see M 28.
Beautiful on this night.

Object(s): NGC 6774
Category: Open cluster.
Class: 
Constellation: Sgr
Data: mag -  size 25'
Position: RA 19:16  DEC -16:16
Description:
In Sagittarius, at ~ 2? N of 44 Sgr. This cluster seems to represent a higher
star concentration in the luminous band of the Milky Way. Very beautiful object,
having impressive dimensions. It presents a rectangular shape and 9 stars can be
observed individually. These stars are gathered by triplets of which one is in
north, a second more in the south and the third occupies the central point.  A
basic nebulosity is quite present and constitutes weak not-resolved stars. The
triplets North and South contain the brighter stars of the cluster. One of stars
of the Northern triplet is, in fact, a double starwhose components are of the
same brightness (the easthern one is HD 180511). This double bloom is not listed
in the WDS, probably too large in seperation for the magnitude of the components.

Description:
In Sagittarius, at ~ 6 ? ? SSE of 61 Sgr. This object is of very small size and
shows a very bright center of stellar in appearance.  After several minutes of
observation, I can see the core like a central star, surrounded by a weak
nebulosity. The brightness of the center of the cluster surely comes from strong
degree of concentration. Very interesting object!

In Pegasus, at ~ 7 ? ? NW of Biham (Theta Peg). The primary star is orange and
the secondary star is too weak to determine the color of it. The pendulum effect
is hardly visible with binoculars but much more obvious when when magnifies 40x.

Object(s): Tr 1
Category: Open cluster.
Class: 
Constellation: Cas
Data: mag 8.1  size 4.5'
Position: RA 01:35.7  DEC 61:17
Description:
In Cassiopeia, at ~ ? ? NE of M103. Tr 1 is an extremely small open cluster, one
of smallest than it was given to me to observe. Its tiny size gives him a
stellar appearance. I confirmed this observation with Herald-Bobroff AstroAtlas
and by alternating direct vision with the averted vision by using star HD 9696.
When I employed the averted vision, the star and Tr 1 appeared but when I
returned to the direct vision, only HD 9696 continued to be visible. Without
surprises, no individual star was observed. The open clusters NGC 663, NGC 659,
NGC 654 and M103 in the same FOV.

Data: mag 8.5  size 17'
Position: RA 23:58.4  DEC 61:13
Description:
In Cassiopeia, at ~ 2 ? ? NW of Caph (Beta Cas). Very beautiful open cluster, of
large size at the binoculars. Also, it shows an lengthened in an axis NW-SE.
Within NGC 7790, I distinguish 4-5 very weak individual stars, forming a ?Y?
figure, accompanied by a weak nebulosity  of background, made up of unsolved
stars. It is those which give to the cluster its lengthened aspect.

(172?), I have the impression to see the secondary, but it remains too elusive
to regard this star as individually observed. The primary star is white.

Description:
In Cassiopeia, at ~ 3 ? ? N of 35 Cas. Despite my efforts, the secondary remains
invisible at the 9x63. It is located too much close to primary star and shines
too weakly to be distinguished individually. The primary star is white-yellow.

Description:
In Cassiopeia, at ~ 2 ? ? E of Ksora/Ruchbah. In spite of my efforts, the
secondary remains invisible at binoculars. The great gap in magnitude makes the
components very hard to split (the primary star is 40x brighter than the
secondary). The primary star is blue. Open clusters NGC 663 and NGC 659 in the
same FOV.

Data: mag 12.3  size 1.0' X 1.0'
Position: RA 20:44  DEC +12:31
Description:
A uniform round halo which shows no detectable brightening toward the core.
While the Digital Sky Survey shows a stellar core, no trace of this structure
was visible.  A 12th magnitude field star lies on the E. edge and the glare
of this star makes observation difficult.  The galaxy forms a triangle with
2 pairs of 8th magnitude field stars, both aligned N-S, which are separated
by ~40' and located on an E-W line ~12' to the N..
