hihi beginner here

Post by coffeeboi619 »

Okay i live at telok blangah area and in on a top floor. Just now i peer through my window with my 10 x 50 binos and i saw star. I checked it with 1 of my app in my iphone and it said it was gienah. I could make out the line that was formed by gienah and a star bottom right of it. But then as i moved my binoculars to the left, something very dazzling attracted me. I checked with my phone and it identified it as M29. now im confused whether what i saw was m29 or the sadr star i saw..Thx thx

Sidewalk is a term we called for the ob be opened to public instead of just astro members.
