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

[1] ζ Coronae Borealis (ID)

[2] Star (Double) (ID)

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

[1] σ Coronae Borealis (ID)

[2] Star (Double) (ID)

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.

[1] M 13, Hercules Globular Cluster (ID)

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

[1] ρ Herculis (ID)

[2] Star (Double) (ID)

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.

[1] δ Herculis (ID)

[2] Star (Double) (ID)

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

[1] 95 Herculis (ID)

[2] Star (Double) (ID)

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.

[1] M 92 (ID)
