I use to be able to see that Globular Cluster (NGC 6723) from my yard, 30 years ago. No way now. My eyes are shot and light pollution is terrible.

The gas clouds weren’t on my charts back then as no one had anything bigger than an 8 inch scope, and, CoAs is always low here.

I am waiting for a good dark night this summer to take a stab at it again.
