9:50pm

Started by zeroing in on α Coronae Borealis and increasing declination until I hit the expected star pattern.

10:05pm

Image

Started by navigating to ν Coronae Borealis (since it's very distinguishable) and decreased RA from there.

10:16pm

Image

Navigated to ζ Herculis and increased declination until the cluster appeared. Not the best night for viewing a cluster, but I was anxious to see one again. Very bright and seems to be densely packed.

10:25pm

Image

Increased RA from M13 until π and ρ came into view.

10:35pm

Image

Moved behind a power-line right after I located it, so I had to wait for a few minutes until it appeared again. Had trouble distinguishing the sibling from other background stars in the FOV.

11:01pm

Image

Navigated to ν Herculis and decreased declination. Very neat split. Both are almost of equal size and magnitude.

11:14pm

Image

Increased declination from π Herculis. At first glance, appeared to be smaller than M13. Overtime using AV, I got the impression that the size was almost as large as M13 but more faint around the perimeter.
