July 29 - 30 The evening of July 29, the sky looked clear, but sadly, clouds were expected during the night.  It looked good enough to do some observing, but when I started around midnight, I already saw that the clouds were coming.  I did still have some time to observe M 13 and M 27.   This was the first time I could test the Berlebach Nix II Observing chair .  During the observation of M 13, I used the chair as a step, as M 13 was almost in the zenith.  For M 27, I could use the chair as a high chair.  It was nice to be able to sit down and enjoy the pretty view of M 27.  I still need a longer observing run to really test out the chair.  I could also try the new Tele Vue 21mm Ethos eyepiece.  The eyepiece provided very nice views, and I preferred the view over the Tele Vue 31mm Nagler, but the field of view is of course a bit smaller.  The (also very recently bought) Tele Vue 13 mm Ethos and the Tele Vue 8mm Ethos also provided very nice views.   I already had to stop observing at 0
